    Mike was one of the “good” guys from Christ the King. So sorry for the family and friends.

    We have known Mike since 1954. He was known then as MaryJo’s little brother. We saw him as a great husband, great father and a wonderful grandpa. We were blessed to be able to travel with him. He will be missed by many. Rest In Peace.

    I have known Mike for a little over 40 years. He always had a smile for folks. He also had a funny smirk when he would tell you a joke or ‘pun’ you.
    I know that he and Judy had been together for what seems like forever. And there were those who said it would never last, given that they got married so quickly after meeting. When ya’ know, ya’ know. And Mike knew that he and Judy were meant to be.
    Mike also loved their kitty, sweet, sweet Miss Libby. All he had to do was get her brush and here she would come running, so excited to get a brushing and some loving from her Daddy. I’m certain that Libby was there to great you when you arrived, Mike.
    I also know that while you may be gone from thus physical world, you aren’t really gone. You’re still here with Judy, Matthew, Micki, Rachael, Matthew II, Chelsea, and those beautiful great-granddaughters of yours, Jazzie and Izzy. I’m sure you will be their Guardian Angel, protecting and guiding them through life.
    You are missed and loved by so, so many Mikey. We were all so lucky to have had you in our lives. ❤️
