I just found out of Mike's passing. I'm sorry we missed the funeral. Randie and I always think of Mike with a smile on his face and a laugh. I also recall the ornery stories my mother told of Mike as a child. May those memories help you through this sorrow.

One of a kind! We lived at the edge of Port William and we could see their house on Sabina Rd. from our house. We knew John, Betty Mae, Mike, Mark, Mallary, and Marty well! I have very fond memories!

I met Mike when I moved to Clinton County and he was very welcoming to me. He assisted me in getting acquainted with the local fire chiefs and helped me set up training. He was one of the nicest people I've ever met.
