So sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. My heart goes out to you Gloria and the family. Mike was such a special man. Such wonderful memories of fishing with him. And of course my David’s Colorado hunting trips with him. He will be deeply missed. God bless you all.
Gloria and family, We are very sorry about Mike. He was a great neighbor and friend. Please let us know if you need anything.
Gloria and family, I am sorry to hear about Mike. He was a great man and friend to myself and family. There are many great memories of hunting and fishing with him as I was growing up. He will deeply missed.
We would like to offer you our sincere condolences to you Gloria and your entire family. Marge and I are saddened by your loss. We hope you find comfort surrounded by loving friends and family.
Gloria and family, we were shocked and saddened to hear of your loss. We enjoyed being your next door neighbors in Lincoln from 2005 to 2012, as have our son Chris and his family since then. Mike will be missed by all who knew him.
Gloria and family, We are saddened by the loss of Mike. We hope you find strength in your memories together. We’ll miss seeing him driving by leaving/coming home from fishing. Since the day we ran into Mike at the mailbox with a box full of chicks, our children ask if we could visit them. He has left quite an impression on our street.
Our hearts hurt without you Papa….
Oh Papa….not a day goes by I don’t think about you constantly! Not a day has gone by that I don’t cry, wishing for you back in our lives! It doesn’t seem real! ♡♡♡ I love you forever!
Papa, I will never forget the times that we got to spend with you. My favorite thing ever is the Donald duck voice, every night I pray to your hoping you are having a good time and you are having lots of fun and will always remember the fun timed you had with the family. Well, I’m glad you got to see me!
Miss you every single day. You will always be the greatest man I have ever known. Words cannot describe the feeling of not having you around. I miss our talks greatly and I no longer have the one person I could vent to. I love you with all my heart Dad and would do anything to get you back. The weather here is starting to get cold, winter is just around the corner. Take care Dad and know that you will always be in our hearts.
Mikol, it has been 6 months now since your passing. Our children miss you terribly. You were so very loved and I thank you for being such a wonderful father-Papa. I’m trying to be there for all of them. It tears me apart to know how saddened they are. I will do my best in watching over them as you are from above. We have such a long history together, good and bad, but you will always be loved. XOXO
Miss you every moment dad. Went to Orange County last month to wish you a happy birthday and family reunion. The family reunion went well but it was weird not having you there. Seeing Gloria by herself just doesn’t seem right. It seems every family activity isn’t right without you. The others have had the opportunity to numb themselves about your loss with the ability to visit your house but for me it was extremely hard to be there without you, the magic just feels gone. There was this big empty feeling and nothing could fill it. I will try and deal with my emotions the best that I can and live my life the way you taught me. It’s hard though but I will try my best. Happy 69th and I will see you in OC next year. Love you always and good morning to you.
The dreaded year has passed since you left us. I know along with myself, everyone was thinking of this day as it approached. All our children have dealt with your passing in different ways. They’ve tried to remain strong, but I know each has had their moments of grief. They are amazing children and we did a good job in raising them. I think of you daily and I miss you too. Your life and love lives on in our children and grandchildren. We know you are watching over all of us. Give my love to my dad. I will continue on with watching over our children guiding them as we always have done. Hugs, Donna
