  2. You and your family have my condolenses. Mike was younger than me but remember messing around when we were young and at the pool hall in Thomson. Seen him a few times after we both graduated. Gone way to early.

  3. Mike was my neighbor for about 5 years or so from Oregon. I had talked to him several times over the years from occasion to occasion. Very nice neighbor to have and was always friendly to me. Sad to hear that Mike is gone and I will always remember him as a great neighbor to have! Eric K

  4. We were next door neighbors to the Wilt Family. I was close in age to Kerry and Mike. All of us had great times when we were little. I lost contact with them when they grew up and moved to Iowa. So sorry for your loss. Thinking of all of you. Judy Cate Beck
