Mike and I worked at Central Center for many years we talked and had coffee all every morning before we started work. We took our computer class together what a fun time that was. He was a big Packer fan and back thing I was a forty winery he called them. He was a great friend and he loved Sharon with all his heart. He will be missed. His Partner in crime Marilyn.
