Scrub I recall that day at Gleason with you and Dean when you began your golfing career and began beating us the next year. You were certainly the most talented athlete I have ever known and also one of the most humble. Your true gift was the ability to share your warmth with all of us. While at times you may have had an irreverant view of life your humor was never at the cost of someone but was something that you shared with someone. You always made us laugh with your perception on things around us. Your legacy is one of compassion and humility and hopefully we are all that much the better for having had you share your life with us. I guess Frank needed a partner and when Dean and I join the foursome just remember this. We will need some strokes you guys know the course too well. Via con dios mi amigo. Janiece Amanda Mrs Cerjeski Judy and Bonnie please accept my deepest sympathies. Bob Pauer
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Mike I remember being terrified of you when we began to work together. Im not sure why but suddenly one day my fear was gone and we eventually had good conversations together. Erica and I are going to get a dog this spring and depending on how that goes maybe a baby some day. Thank you for helping me out with work take care and Ill see you around but hopefully not anytime soon.

Janiece and Amanda: Words cannot adequately express how we feel. We will hold on to the memories of the good times. We will always remember Kurt and Michael hanging out in the garage drinking beers in the summer time helping each other fix whatever was broken Michael teaching me how to swing a golf club 4th of July homemade fireworks on the driveway and being together with Curt and Sue helping each other out in good times and bad times. Just being what neighbors are meant to be. All the memories that made him a part of us as we were a part of him. We will cherish them all. And please know that you are not alone even now we will be there for you for whatever you need. You are in our prayers. In sympathy love and friendship. Kurt Leann Ashley & Matt

Michael it seems like yesterday that we were playing golf at Gleason park. I remember when we first took you out golfing. Within a year you were beating all of us. You were a natural at every sport you played. An a accomplished artist. May you rest in peace and find eternal happiness in Heaven. You and Dad are probably teeing it up as I speak. Sincerly Dean

I have only known Mike for the past few years but when his associates from work stopped to let me know Tuesday morning I felt a tremendous loss of dear friend. I knew a bit about his family and how much they meant to him. Mike would stop to have a beer after work read the sports pages and watch ESPN then off to his other jobs. He was my first customer of the day and one of the most enjoyable person I have known. He never complained even after a long nite shift. All of the other workers from the casino really respected Mike as well as the other customers who came in the morning. He was one of the good ones. He will be missed. May you rest in peace Mike.From everyone at Rickys Lounge Kay Nelson
