Uncle Mike was like the older brother I never had. I have & cherish several memories, the funniest being when I was about 10 & spending summers on the Sturmay farm. Mike wasn’t married yet so I helped him with farm chores. He put me in a small Red Rider wagon and was pulling me around the yard. I was relaxed & enjoying the sunshine & dragging my hands on the ground. To my surprise all of sudden my hands were engulfed in very fresh cow pies. Much to Mikes pleasure he had a good laugh & then proceeded to wash my hands while trying to make me feel better. Mike in his kind, way always cared about & supported his friends & family. I will truly miss this good man & the occasional “Rumasaurus” (rum & coke) we shared.
