I found out today about Mike’s passing. I worked with him for many years at ADM. He always had a mischievous smile on his face and I will miss him.

As youngsters you all coming up to Sioux City. We were walking up to 7-11 where my mom was working. Kenny Berkemier was out back of Berkemier Funeral home, where you insisted we stop and talk with him. You was asking all kinds of questions and as we were about to walk off you made the comment of how you would be ‘scared stiff’ to work there. We all laughed. Fun times. I think of that and all the Elvis concerts you would entertain us with. What it would be to be able to go back to the simpler times of being a kid. RIP Mike. Thanks for all the fun stuff.

Mike was always a good friend. Growing up in Belmont and going to school together he was always someone you could count on. A sweet soul who never had a bad thing to say about anyone. Thoughts and prayers to his family. RIP MIKE

Mike, you were the best next door neighbor a guy could ever ask for. Though you never lent me the keys to your Harley, I will miss that Beautiful Harley sound when you leave for work or come home. Your Jalepinoes poppers were so very good. it was a true honor knowing you for these 20 plus years. God Bless, my friend, you will be missed.
