Sorry to hear about Mike’s passing. I had worked with him. Prayers for the family.
I came home one Christmas Eve and Mike knew I was a huge Colts fan and the Colts were playing the Jets on Christmas Eve. In normal fashion Mike dropped everything and we all went to the Colts game on Christmas Eve. My son (who was 8 at the time) said “This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen”. Mike and I just looked at each other and just laughed. Someone posted about Mike always having a smile and I agree. Miss you cousin.
Jeanette, I am so sorry to hear of Mike’s Passing. I remember not long after I moved back to Elizabethtown, I substituted for a bowler on your bowling team. I wasn’t a lot of help, but we had fun. Mike was a great friend to me and my oldest son Matthew. I am keeping you in my prayers. Your Old friend – Judy Mankin
