What a wonderful man who loved his family very much. Played and coached a lot of softball with Mike, lots of great memories playing cards, horse shoes, drinking beers. And his family was usually always there. He was a wonderful family man and will be greatly missed. He was taken way too early. Gary and Jeanie Sunderlin
