Francene Jolin Brechwald BeamanDear family of Michael, I am Michael's first cousin, his mother was my Aunt Elsie - my mother (Helen's) sister. I have been looking for Michael for several years and for some reason I typed in Aunt Elsie's name and Michaels' Obituary came up - sadly I am disappointed I didn't get to talk to him personally as I have so many happy memories of his Mom and Dad. Larry was my age so we were good friends when we were able to visit. Sincere late condolences to the family, Francene Jolin Beaman

Fr. John DortonMy thoughts and prayers are with you, Bobbi, the kids and grandkids. Mike was truly a delightful person who knew how to spread joy to all he met. He could light up a room and make people feel better just for the experience of being around him. I personally enjoyed the time I was able to spend with him. I will remember him at the masses I celebrate and look forward to seeing him again in heaven.
