    My brother Mike was always the one to crack us up when we were children, getting us giggling, then sit there with that “who, me?” look. He was so gifted both artistically and musically. Being the most non- musical member of our family my favorite Michael quote is from a day I tried to sing-a-long to a song and Mike quips “You know, Chris, I always ...

    John Klimmek So many of my fondest memories are of very numerous family gatherings over a period of sixty years, being with my brothers and cousins. The picture with the nine little ones are of Mike’s cousins from his Mom’s side of the family and his sisters. From top to bottom, left column: Steve, Brian and Craig Woodard. Center column: Den, Jay and John Klimmek. Right column: Mike’s sister Chris, Mike, and Mike’s sister Jeanette. Each of us have been very blessed to have such wonderful parents and such a close, loving group of cousins. Mike, I love you, miss you and so look forward to being with you in Heaven by the grace of our Lord.

    Michael welcomed me as his brother-in-law many decades ago and has always been a gentle and creative presence in our lives. He was always an authentic personality who cared deeply about the people in his life and enjoyed entertaining those around him. He will be forever missed.

    Chris Cassidy This beautiful family photo of Catherine, Aric, Michael and Katrina was taken September 22, 1989 at our sister Jeanette’s wedding. It was wonderful celebration of Love and Family.

    So many memories of Mike I don't know where start. Some of my favorites are the period in Torrance when we were both interested in animation. I loaned him my movie camera (we swapped cameras, actually) so that he could experiment with stop motion and he turned out some clever and entertaining short films challenging my efforts at the time. Most rec...
