Greg, Steve, Diane, Connie and Bruce. I just wanted to say how lucky you all are to have had a Mom and Dad that truly loved you so much. Over the years we all have memories that will be with us forever. Of growing up to and having the joy of watching them spend time with their grandchildren.
Never forget their love for all of you and where ever life takes you never forget the bonds of Sisters and Brothers. Your dad was a great man and a great Uncle.

I knew Mike from the VFW. He was a nice guy! We went there a lot for bingo and my husband was a veteran also.

I was lucky enough to grow up in the house next to Mike and Betty. They were wonderful neighbors and even more wonderful people. Always willing to stop and chat and help out whenever they could. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the kids.
