Dear Wiercinski Family,

I was so saddened to hear of Mike's death and still cannot believe it. Mike has been a friend for many years since we worked together at Chemical Leaman, and I could always count on him for philosophy, laughs, advice and encouragement. He was one of those rare human beings who truly cared. I will miss him. I hope you find comfort in each other and know that Mike was so proud of you.

Dear Weircinski's,

I've been a business associate of Mikes for about 10 years. I respected him and always appreciated his opinion. Mike was very proud of his family and spoke of you all often.

Dear Diane, Lauren, Eric & Kurt:
Wow: there are no words to express this. Red (Mike) Was a great guy, we have been friends for over 30 years (Paul and Mike 50 years). We have been in touch and out of touch over the years but never forgotten. Whenever we would talk it was like we were just together after not seeing each other for a few years. We will really miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
Love the Lupe's
