So many fun memories with Pugsley…he sure made school alot more fun…thinking of his family at this sad time….Rest in Peace Pugsley!
In loving memory of a great friend who was the heart and soul of the class of “72”. Deepest sympathy and prayers for his family.
From one play we did in grade school, the nickname ‘Pugsley’ stayed with him, as his memory and spirit will always stay with us. We’ll miss you, Pugsley. There’s a place in all our hearts for you.
Pugsley was one of a kind. He was the best friend you could ask for, and he was the heart of the Class of 1972. I will miss him.
Good high school memories and great times you came to visit us in Wyoming. The constant cheerleader for class of ’72!!
Pugsly you’re the best man I ever knew, I love you with all my heart and will for ever my dear friend. Godspeed and “Rally Time” to you. Johnny B.
Want to mention how husband, Ed, and I enjoyed talking with him about traveling to the Boundary Waters in Minnesota. He was an interesting guy.
We lost another good man. Pugsley was definitely one of the good ones. Many memories of high school, summer baseball, varsity club initiation, solving the issues of the White Sox and many more. Am unable to join you at visitation or funeral, but want you all to know you are in my thoughts.
I am so sorry for your lose. Mike was a great guy and will be greatly missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Mike, I have great memories of all the trips to Comiskey Park to watch the White Sox play–especially the trip in 2005, the championship year. I’ll miss you and miss talking baseball with you. Rest In Peace, Pugsley.
