I am so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. He was a very kind & friendly man who loved his wife and family. He graciously cooked many hamburers & Bratwursts, for his neighbors and the Hoofers Tap Dance group. He will be truly missed. Rest well my friend. You will be missed.
Recalling those brief times with Mike at our annual Hoofers & Hunks outdoor fun-and-games parties, it was always a pleasure to talk with and listen to his humor as he cooked those burgers and brats to our taste. With good memories we will miss you, Mike.
Our hearts and prayers go out to and for you, Dana, and we pray that you will be able to cope with your loneliness at the loss of your dear husband, Mike. We didn't get to know Mike, but we know what a wonderful woman you are -- due to the generous help you give us in tap dancing class. God bless you, Dana.
I was saddened to hear about Mike's passing. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family, With deepest sympathy, Jackie
Dana, so sorry to hear of the loss of Mike. I will remember him as a kind jovial man with a great positive attitude. May the peace of the Lord be with you.
Please accept our deepest sympathy and condolences for Mike. He was very fair and interested in everything. Call us if we can do anything for you.
My sincere condolences to you and family, Dana. May Mike Rest In Peace and may you find comfort in the memories of all the good times you shared. God Bless!
Mike and I were best friends from first grade on...losing track of each other over the years I'm sorry to say. We sold snow cones together from the back of a Crosley car his dad Ken got for him. We double dated in high school and I used his car (a pristine 41 Chevy) to take my driver's license test in. Mike was like a brother....I even wen with the family to visit Mike's grandparents a few times (in their Cadillac coupe de ville). He was a big part of my life, and I will have nothing but good and fond memories of Mike
