Sad for the family. Mike, you are with Paulette now…. I remember when you were both a young married couple always kind and helpful. You two always helped kids with horses and 4-H. I was just a teenager when I met you both. You made a huge impression on me. Rest in Peace.

My deepest condolences to the family. I remember spending the night with my friend Missy at her parents house when we were teenagers. Missy’s dad would have Cheeseburgers waiting for us in the morning when we woke up. Rudy’s Cheeseburgers for breakfast were the best after being out all night miss behaving ..lol.. Such a wonderful hard working man Missy’s Dad was. His unconditional love was so pure for his wife & Daughter. May he Rest In Peace with Missy’s Mom in Heaven. Together Again.
