So sorry for your loss. I grew up on the Northside with the Oldenburg family. Lots of fun memories of him. Prayers with you all at this difficult time.
I’m so sorry to hear of Mikes passing, like so many others in the NRHS Class of “1974”, he too was a character. Honest, hard working, topped off with a great sense of humor. I last saw him at our 45th Class Reunion (last year). He looked great, we had a lot of laughs that night. He will be truly missed by all. . .
