My sincere condolences to the Grossman Family! Mike was a great man and I enjoyed visiting with him when I worked at the Sheriff’s Office. He will be greatly missed!
Mike and Judy have been dear friends for years. I shared many meals with
them and weekend stays in their home. Mike always had much to share about his involvement and service to his Church, the community of Decatur and his family. His generous gift of time to anyone who needed his help was a blessing to many! Of special memory was celebrating, with Judy, Mike’s arrival home with Caden from his honor flight last spring! I know God was waiting with open arms to welcome Mike into heaven! Rest In Peace, my friend. Deepest sympathy, love and prayers to Judy, Joe, Chris and their families.
I saw Mike at church a short time ago. Though I would never have told him what I'll say now, since we always practiced our sarcasm whenever we'd run into each other. We were in grade school and high school together. He has always been the nicest, kindest, most decent gentlemen I have ever known. That never changed throughout the years. My husband has met him several times and he found him to be as described. I will miss knowing that we might run into him throughout each year and catch up. What a rock he must have been to his family. We miss him now, just knowing that this nice, nice guy is gone from our lives. I'm sure he's up there driving them crazy already, getting the scoop on who needs help where and what can he do. May his wife, his family and friends be comforted by how much he loved them and how much he was loved by them. God bless you,
Linda Schuerman Gregory and husband, Clyde.
