My brother Mike was a remarkable man who had so many talents and achieved awards all his life. He used to laugh at me when I used to climb trees and fall. He still giggles about it. He was devoted to his faith and to his family especially his mother in her later years. He adores his grandchildren. He was loved by anyone who really knew him. Forever in our hearts dear Mike!
Mike, you will be missed but I am thankful that you will suffer no more and that you are with your loved ones that have passed before you. I thank God that you are at peace and with your lord that has always watched over you and blessed you. Love your brother Jim
