If only obituaries told the truth, like how he lied about being a war vet, how he hasnt spoken to any of his kids accept for his youngest daughter. How he has other grandchildren he doesn't acknowledge...I know this as his step daughter because he lived with me 7 years prior to the year before he died and he has done so much damage.

I have fond memories of Mike that go back to grade school at Saint Anthony’s. He was a quiet guy who had a love and respect for American Indians and wanted to share his knowledge of the Indians with others. May his soul rest in peace. Denise Dougherty Ziegler

My condolences to Mike's children. Mike and I were classmates at St. Anthony's and we were our Freshman homeroom's class student council representatives. Mike was a gentle soul and I have fond memories of our years as fellow classmates.

We remember Mike as one of the tallest boys in our Lancaster Catholic High School Class of 1967! He was a Student Council homeroom representative, member of football, track & wrestling teams as well as part of the JETS applied science club. We came in contact with Mike after graduation when he skillfully refinished our dining room table from VanSciver's Furniture Store in downtown Lancaster. May he now rest in the loving arms of our heavenly Father. Our prayers are with your family.
