I worked with Mick for a few years at Norman Supply back in the 1980's and enjoyed knowing him. He was always ready to help and share his knowledge of the business. We know he will be missed by all who knew him. KC Lloyd and family Robert Behrens I am sorry to hear of the passing of your Father and Grandfather. These are never easy times when a loved one moves one but somehow strengthens us to cope with the future. The one thing that you will always have is the memories and examples that have been shown and taught. LaRae (Johnson) Steffler Mike and Cathy Sorry to read about your father. It's never easy losing a parent. Just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and wishing you peace. LaRae Gayle & Rena Blackburn Dear Finn family, Gayle and are out of town and will not be able to attend any of the services. We send our thoughts and prayers and wish you all well at this time of both sadness and joy that he has completed his assignment on the side of the veil and will be reunited with other family members on the other side. May God be with you. Gayle and Rena Blackburn
