John Brychta remembers Mike...

I grew up with Mike and I remember playing tag football with him and hanging
out with him at his parents cafe.

I went to Vietnam in 68-69 and when I got back Mike and his sister and some
other people rode around from Hanover to Marysville.  Mike left for Vietnam
that week and I never saw him again.  I think about him a lot and I miss him.

Jason Martin honors his Uncle...

I don't remember you as an uncle.  Hope I have done my Military career in
your honor and in a way that you would have done.  I know your brother
(my dad) misses you a lot.  He doesn't talk about you much because I think
it hurts to remember.  Just remember Mike that your family misses and loves
you much and knows your in a much better place.

These messages were left in the Faces On The Wall
notebook that travels with the tribute...

Miss ya
Mary

A hell of a good friend

We were neighbors of Kenny's.  I know Michael is missed.

Michael is my Great Uncle.  His brother is my grandpa.  My older brother is
named after him.
