To the Family, I am sorry to hear of your loss. Mike worked with my Dad for many years and although I don't know all of you, your parents were a part of my life. I remember riding in the boat when I was a kid, camping and Gunsmoke. Both parents were wonderful people! Linda Leggate Rook

Jim, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. I have nothing but fond memories of her. She was a wonderful friend and neighbor to my Uncle Louis and later Aunt Mary and Uncle Bob.
