Our deepest and most sincere sympathy to the family of "Mickey". They are not enough words to express our sorrow in his passing. When I was sad he always made me laugh.He was honest, out spoken, and one of the best friends I have ever had, for many years. He dearly loved all of his family. Theresa & Jimmy, Kayla, Nicholas, and Maryssa. He was so proud of all of you.
Larry, Donald and Joanne, You all were the best brother's and sister you could have possibly been to him. He told me many times over. When you had Mickey for a friend, You had a true friend. I could go on & on about his integrity. But I will leave it at this. He will be deeply missed by us all. I appreciate this opportunity to express myself to you all. Sincerely Deanna & Lawrence Ballowe

To Mickey's family, thank you for sharing him with us. The Ladies Auxiliary will miss Mickey very much as he was a great supporter of the auxiliary. He helped us with the children's parties and fundraisers.

We hope that God will comfort you and that knowing how much Mickey was cared for will be of some comfort.

Yours Truly,

We have many fond memories of clowning around with Mickey and will treasure them always. We will miss his friendly face and lively personality. We could always rely on Mickey to tell the truth, even if we didn't want to hear it.

We extend our deeply sympathy to the family. Larry, I know it's tough to carry on without Mickey, please stay in touch and we really appreciate your help with the new house.

We love you Mickey and will miss you greatly. You were a good man who served his country proudly and added value to our lives by being our friend.
