We are neighbors of Centerton living on Thomas Rd. We would frequently see Mike walking and of course he and Linda occupied the back seat at St. Francis Xavier Church. His friendly smile will certainly be missed. You are remembered in our thoughts and prayers.

Linda, Tammy , Seth and families,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you . Words cannot express my sadness. We spent hours talking about his love for you over the years, drinking coffee at Dudley’s! He was a very proud family man and you each meant the world to him. His heart was as huge as his stubbornness not to veer too far from home unless to hunt or fish. He had a wonderful smile and so much talent! God give you strength in this time of sorrow.
Love ya!!
