Uncle Mike it was a pleasure knowing you, you were one of the great men I have gotten the pleasure of knowing through your nephew. I know that God took you from us for a reason and I know you will continue doing good now that you are in heaven with our father. You will be missed by all of us including me and your nieces who greatly love you.

Tio Mike - it weighs heavy in my heart to not be able to say so long for now in person. To you and all of our family in SanAnto, we extend a long-distance gesture of sadness for our loss, yet gratefulness and celebration for having had my uncle Mike in our lives. He was and always will be one of many fabrics that held our family together and a man who helped shape the person I am today. For that I thank you and will LOVE YOU ALWAYS. Keep the beer on ice, the grill warm and make room - we'll all see you again... We salute you; with love,

I will miss him dearly...and my heart aches for his family's loss. The good die young...........He is an angel watching over us all!
