I'm very sorry to hear of Mike's passing, I just recently connected with him via Facebook. I have good memories of Bo (his nickname in high school to some of us). He was always smiling with a bright open face, you knew he had a good heart just by looking at him. My condolences to his family.

I am so very sorry to here Mickey passed on. I am sure Denny Gohl was there waiting for him when he arrived in heaven. They will spend time on the porches of heaven chatting as they did when Mickey visited us and kept Denny company while he fought cancer 2 years ago. I cherish the memories of the time we spent with him in Arizona 32 years ago and 2 years ago while he spent time at my house with Denny and our family. Hugs and prayers to your family.
