My condolences on your loss Mike & Maggie. I didn't know your pop well but I knew him quite a while. I remember him, Larry & Danny from when my aunt & uncle, (Jack & Lorraine Marx) lived a few doors down from your grandma in the projects. I remember when Uncle Larry I believe shot a hole in the wall above the stairs with that rifle he brought home after leaving the service. Long time ago. Again, Kim & I are sorry for your loss. Please give Colten a hug for us & take care.

Heaven gained a very special angel. He is smiling down on all of you. Maggie I know you will always miss him, but you can see him every time you look at Mike, Jr. and Colten. Not only do they look like him but they have the values he instilled in them. He was a truly great guy!

We have had the pleasure of living next door to Mike and Maggie for the last 12 Year's. Mike was always willing to help us with anything we needed. He was such a good man, hard worker and absolutely loved his family. The way he spoke about Maggie, you knew their love was real. He will be deeply missed. Thought and prayers are with you during this time.

Goodbye my friend for now. Tony and you are probably in heaven together raising hell and laughing about so many good times in younger years and older years. You were a sweet heart, Tony and I loved you so much. You were special as well as Maggie. You sure picked a good lady, spunky, fun, and ready for any adventure you put on the table. Your friendship meant the world to us.

Maggie, Mike and Colten - my deepest sympathy to you, he was a wonderful person, full of life, good husband, father, grandfather and friend. He left a wonderful legacy, one that he was proud of. To quote my daughter "he beamed when he spoke of his family" We love you and will always remain friends because of Mike and Tony. We love you, Cathy, Tony Joe, Tasha and Ivan.
