Dear Marie, Jimmy,Andy,Tom
Mike was very dear to my heart
I spent many camping trips with the Hauke family and Mike was our tour director, we even went to Canada one summer!
And then there were family parties at Haukes bar
So much fun and family love
He was a role model as a friend,father,husband,with a great work ethic and great love of life and respect for the outdoors
I will never forget his contagious laugh
An Irish blessing to you
May God hold you in the palm of his hand
Love and sympathy to all of you
