We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Cedar Rapids
Mike was always there to help me in any way he could. I enjoyed him as a bowling partner three days a week, and going out for an occasional beer with him, and our good conversations on the political scene. I will always remember him as a good man gone too soon.
So many fun memories with you and Mike at the West Liberty Bowling Alley! RIP Mike…Hugs Pat.
Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss… Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
We wish you peace and comfort, Pat and family. 54 years of together leaves lots of love and memories. Our sympathies, Marie and Lyle
