There are so many but 2 stand out sliding down the hill by Grandma and Grandpas on cardboard in the summer and throwing dirt balls and rotten garden veggies at an old shred where we took turns being inside and just listening to the noise of things hitting the building and the tin roof Peace Milke from cousin Larry Guthu
So sad to hear of Mike's passing. Always a Smile & a Hug when I saw him, as well as kind words. He will be missed!! 💕🙏
I am truly going to miss Pigger. His distinct low voice, his banter, and his great ability to dissect the world’s issues. No one will ever forget his greetings- Campers, Neighbors, Kids- and his Hooty Hoot at some point in a conversation. He was a special person, and will always be remembered with fondness ❤️
Pig was the most unique and positive person I've ever met, and I was lucky to be able to call him my friend. I will miss him more with every great memory that comes to mind.
We as a group will never forget the trips we made to the porcupine mountains backpacking or the weekends at the cabin can't take that away from us
