My mother Dorothy and Mike´s father Frank were brother and sister. We used to see uncle Frank, aunt Irene, and the family a lot when I was growing up. Just so sorry we lost another family member. My prayers are with his children and their families.

The Johnson cousins send their condolances. Mike had a smile like his mother's. Wish Mike would have come to some of our gatherings.
