We will surely miss Mike and his love of music, sports and especially his quick wit and quietly funny quips. We are so thankful that we had the opportunity to travel with Barb and Mike and loved our trips to the Big Ten Tournaments in Chicago and Indy and especially our trip to the Keys to help celebrate their 30th anniversary. We will cherish those memories forever.
Mike will be sorely missed by all. He is now with Jesus and an angel watching over his loving family.
Love, B and Jim….
