Mike was a cousin that was very energetic when he was young, I remember playing baseball, tag, and hide and seek with and Jim, Mike, and Cathy and so many other cousins playing keep away from and the younger cousins. playing at family get-togethers, Holidays, and Wendte Family Reunions. Mike worked at the same workplace my wife did. When passing always would talk to her. When seeing us in church and in the store he would take time to stop and talk. He always had a smile and would ask how his aunt Violet and uncle Harold were doing. God bless his wife Elaine. R.I.P. Mike.
