Good morning Pam, Deb, and Mike Jr. I will miss Uncle Mike very much. All my memories dating back since I was a child include Uncle Mike. The years helping out at Hungry Mikes, with the Polka music playing on Sunday mornings, are some of my greatest memories. Also, the great laughs we had, and the last several years in Port Saint Lucie Florida where I got to spend those wonderful last years with my parents and Mike and Aunt Arlene- they are all dancing the Polka in Heaven now., and I miss them so much. I hope to see you all real soon. Sorry I couldn’t make it to Uncle Mikes Service- Love, Nancy Holland

Dear Family of Mike: I knew Mike as a teenager. We called him, Mr. Magoo."
He was sooooo handsome. Drove his father's car, a green Bonneville, and always hung on the corner of Bridgeman and Marion. We all hung on the corner. It was fun. He married my neighbor, Arlene. They were so happy. My love to you all.
Pam, Debbie & Michael,
My thoughts are with all of you. Losing a parent is never easy. Knowing that your Dad is with your Mom should be of some comfort. May the memories you have bring smiles to your faces when the days seem so hard. All my love, Karen xoxo
