I worked with Mike for awhile in Winnebago and he was a hard, attentive worker. He was always caring and when I went on maternity leave for a few months, he made sure to call and check in on me. I hope for peace for him and his family as you mourn the loss of him.
Thank you for sharing, this means a lot!
Julie, Erin and Allison…You are all in my thoughts and prayers! Pete…was one of a kind and a wonderful man! I was fortunate to know him and call him a friend! God bless!
I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband and father. May you always remember the wonderful memories made thru-out the years…they will help you thru the hard times. You, Julie and girls, are in my thoughts and prayers. Mike, right now is in the safest place he could be, in the loving arms our Heavenly Father, God and Friend.
Julie, my prayers are you with you and your family. Mike was a dear friend to me and I will always remember the good times we had.
I went to school with Mike and he was also in our swing choir. I am sorry I am just reading about this thru Facebook. Last time I saw him was at Darlene’s funeral. He was a great guy in school. Julie, you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Eternal Rest Grant Unto Him Oh Lord.
