Mike was one of my very first friends in the Bonneyville neighborhood in Colorado Springs. This is really an OLD friendship - my family did not have a TV, and I always had a gracious invitation to Mike's house to watch the Howdy Doody show! We started kindergarten together, and continued to be school and neighborhood friends, playing hide-and-seek late into the summer nights. My family, Gene, Murph, John and I enjoyed many neighborhood activities with Mil, Marian and Mike. I had not been in touch with Mike as an adult, but from reading the other entries, it's obvious he kept his open spirit of humor and fun. My thoughts are with you, Mil, as well as with Mike's children and grandchildren.

To the family of Micheal Link. I just want you to know that Micheal gave those of us at Metro Mobility many laughs. He was such an interesting person to speak to, and I am going to miss being his driver. May God bless you all, and keep you.
