Mikie's first wife was Elizabeth "Betty" Glass. RIP dear Elizabeth.
Mikie's second wife was Doris Mae Sandhovel.
AKA Mike or in my case Mikie. This man held great love in his heart for family, friends, and people around him.
Watching how he strived to bring happiness to my grandmother. Making the chicken coops to helpful gagets for her to work in the yard more easy.
In the shop he loved to cook up tasty meals and would gather the workers to eat up. He wanted everyone happy and full.
I remember he aproached my grandmother about one of the workers needing a coat....a memory i won't ever forget... his kind ways....under a seemingly grouchy bark. He was all heart.
He would on occasion invite me along on the coffee breaks he shared with fellow car sales people. I enjoyed seeing him shine in the attention people gave to him.
He liked to joke at the office when I would sweep the walk way or tidy up it was, "Did you earn your quarter"...hahaha... it still makes me chuckle.
Mikies favorite food LOBSTER!
He also loved his sweets and especially those hershey minitures.
He did like animals, when I was real small they had two dogs Gigi and Pritzy. While Gigi was loving to all....Pritzy was more one person dog....she was his. Stayed by him and only let him pet her. Then when my grandma got the chickens...well this little white hen got attached to him. He named her Lovey. Every evening after work he'd join grandma and me out with the chikens and as soon as Lovey heard him she'd go running towards him and sit on his lap till he was ready to go in. Till one day she died....my Mikie cried. Later my grandma's bird craze turned into cockatiels and Mikie had another pet...I forgot her name....but she loved him and only him. I'd get her out of the cage for him....she couldn't wait to get to him she'd fly off my finger to him and sit on his shoulders.
Towards the end of his days I lived with my grandparents. I am really thankful for the time I was able to spend with them. Most days upon arrival home my grandma would make note he wanted to see me. So I'd go in his room and he'd ask me about my day and school. This one day he went on about his past....I cherrished that moment and always will. We had always been close...but my shyness had kept me a bit distant with my words. So it was great to be reassured he knew how much I loved him and shared his stories with me so I can have them forever in my heart.
My dearest Mikie...to whom do I find shelter when life seems scary. My Mikie who showed me to give without hesitation....To hell with those who take it for granted and see it as weekness....My Mikie who showered the people he loved in warmth...Sweet sweet soul.
My heart holds you so tightly...forever thankful that god gave me the greatest grandfather. I love you.
Loving you forever and always
