We will miss Mike greatly, He had found a dollar bill years ago with my name on it, and kept it always in his wallet. Whenever I saw him, he would show me that dollar and said that whenever he looked at it he would say a prayer for me. Our prayers are with your family, He will be missed greatly.

dad, you will always be my hero. i have no other example of what it is to be a man and to take care of my family. you never thought of yourself only others, i can only hope one day i can be like you. through all the trials you never doubted God, you dug deeper into the word and prayed harder. i will miss calling only to hear you laugh and say "mary", i will miss calling to get your guidence. i will miss you always. i will never forget fishing with you, i will never forget how you always knew what when and how to say and give encouragement. i will never forget you. i love you now and forever and hope to see you on that beautiful shore with all my heart and love, mark
