Sally and family,
Sorry to hear about "Uncle Mike". Even my kids referred to him as Uncle Mike. He will greatly missed by all. He was a big part of my childhood growing up and always there with those doughnuts!I am glad I got to see him one last time when I was home last December to say goodbye. It's times like these that I wish I lived closer. My prayers are with you.

To the family: my condolences for your loss. I had Mike as a coach when at St. Joseph's grade school. He was a wonderful man that taught us the right way. Over the years I would see Mike and he always had something positive to say. Thanks Mike - you'll be missed
