Mike was employed at Thilmany since 1979. He began in the Poly Department and later became an electrician until his illness forced him to stop working. Mike loved to work on cars and his house, and to be outside, working or camping or fishing. But his greatest love was his wife Patti. As busy as he was with his own family, he always tried to squeeze out extra time to help anyone who needed it. Mike has touched many lives, and will be missed by more than he could ever know.
Funeral Services will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 6, 2008, at BOETTCHER FAMILY FUNERAL HOME, Kaukauna. Friends may call at the Funeral Home from 2 p.m. until time of service. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund is being established in his name. 920-766-2099.
