Randy and I had a lot of fun with Mike and Linda. One time going to the movies and rocking in the chairs. Mike is a funny guy. I can’t come to the viewing or funeral, I will be in the hospital after having eye surgery. Will be thinking of you. Prayers for all of you.
Mike always remembered me whenever we saw him. He always had a big smile and a special place in my heart. A good friend
My kids always loved coming to mike and Shirley’s to trick or treat. Mike was always so kind and gave the kids an extra bag of treats. He will be missed.
To my awesome Uncle Mike. You will always be in my heart and I will always talk about you so your memory will be with Ethan always. I will hold dear to all the great times we had. Especially in the summers when I was a kid and we sit on the porch and listen to music and watch the cars go by. Hope you’re running around now and have a nice Chevy car picked out. Love you always and forever. Cory (Smith) Schultz
