I remember how happy he was spending time with his daughter Lynn and her family at the campground, sweet smile, just wanting to be near those he loved. Hope you are resting in peace and seeing all your grandkids as they have family of their own.

For some reason I have been thinking about Mike today as I have done throughout my life. I looked up his name on google and found out he had passed. I'm so sorry for your loss. He was very special to me before he went into the service. He may be gone but never will he be forgotten. Truly a wonderful person.
