Mike was an amicable, knowledgeable, and helpful person. My late wife and I enjoyed many hours of discussing life and its aspects with Mike on the back porch of my house when they visited or on the phone He was always very helpful with his knowledge of automobiles when I would be having problems with one of mine. He also performed many projects for my parents.
Mike was a multi-talented person and one of the talents I thoroughly enjoyed as a fellow model train enthusiast was his G scale train layout in his back yard. He developed multi-levels of dirt mounds with a retainer wall surrounding the massive layout including a waterway and a truss bridge he designed and built from scratch. He cut scale pieces of redwood and used threaded coat hanger wire with small nuts to assemble it. He was a skilled woodworker including designing and assembling their kitchen layout and cabinets in addition to the remodeling and room addition to their home.
Mike’s memory will live on with the love he had for his children and grandchildren and his contributions to our family. RIP, Mike. Your pain has ceased.

I remember cousin Mike and his brothers Larry and Donnie coming to our house when I was little to help my dad build something. The uncles would be there too, but Mike always helped.
When we were kids it seemed like we always had fun together. My family lived in the country and everyone else in the city. They would come out our place to ice skate and sled in the winter. We would go into town to their house to trick or treat or just hang out and play. Hide and seek, tag of all sorts, kick ball. I remember the address where Mike was raised. Do many memories. R. I. P. Cousin. See u later.
