Hello Mike (aka., K-dog, Birdie, Brother, Friend),

Your huge heart, spirit, vigor, bravado, wit, humor, enthusiasm and unselfish willingness to give the shirt off of your back could never be contained! We will always remember the way you lifted up those around you.
With love,
John, Gina and Christian Seegers

Mike, I can remember when you and Ellen got engaged at our 10th year class reunion. That was such a joyous occasion. I believe that was the first time I met you and you left a lasting impression. We had many fun times at your house when we'd come to visit Chicago in Dec. I have pictures from those happy times and that's how I'll remember you - jovial, funny, always making people laugh and a smile a mile wide. May you rest in peace, my friend.

Love,
Mary and Hugh
