I'm always going to miss you! I can reflect on our life's together at 1239 Stewart St., you were the man of the house. As a small child, You and Uncle Ollie were the only two men that I looked up too...l would watch you both going to work at the meat packing house and I understood what it would take to become a man. You were always my superman ... Now my superman is gone, but never forgotten. Please, while-you are in heaven say a prayer for me... for our family to come together!! Love you Mike, Tellisa, children and grandson.

You stepped up to the plate when both mom and your siblings needed you to. After mother became ill, you and Terry supported us when no one else offered any support of their own and for this, I thank you. You came to my rescue on many occasions. You will always have a place in my heart. You are forever loved and forever missed big bro. Love, Winnie
