Dear Dad/Grandpa....
You are finally at rest and enjoying a pain-free life. We will miss you so much. You are the best Father/Grandfather anyone could ask for, always playing games with the grand kids when nobody else wanted to:))) Every conversations that we had involved some sort of advice or knowledge that you shared with us and we will always cherish that even though we sometimes disagreed with you. Not sure you were aware of the lives you touched through out the years, but it was evident at the service. Many showed up sharing stories and laughter. Your garden will always be thriving even more so now, knowing you are looking over it every day! Please know that mom will be ok, you guys have many good neighbors and friends who have been there and will continue. Love you much!

It is a tragic loss to lose a loved one at such an early age. You have raised a wonderful son in Jim and we are very fortunate to have him as part of our family.

Mike - You were a great brother-in-law and a very hard worker. One hand short and you still made the rest of us look bad. Amazing!

We had some great times together. I will always remember the Packer game we attended while staying at your place in Shawano. You had breakfast waiting for us after our all night drive from Missouri. Again, awesome!

We did also have differing opinions on some things, but we always had enough respect to hear each other out and for that I am grateful.

You will be missed by our entire family. God bless Michael and his entire family.

Thanks for being a great friend and brother-in-law.

Dear Mike - You have been a wonderful neighbor and friend to us. I will miss your laughter, hard work, and most of all, your opinion. While we disagreed on a number of things we always respected each others opinion and for that I am grateful.

There was never a job you were afraid to tackle and never a subject you didn't have an opinion on. You have given me memories that I will cherish forever. From your castle wall to getting the heavy equipment stuck in your back yard, there was always something to talk and laugh about.

There is no doubt in my mind you are now at peace and advising God on how to save the World. Don't give up on us!

Thanks for a Very Special Friendship,

Brad
