Michael C. Tirpak
John, Tom, Joe, Bill and Dan, I know it's been many years since we've been in touch, but I wanted to extend my sympathy and condolences on this occasion of Mike's untimely death. My two major memories of Mike are his playing the guitar with my sister at a picnic we had in the west end of Fairview Park, and of course, the trips we made down to High Ridge to see him at the Sons of Our Mother of Peace outdoor sanctuary, I guess you would call it. We carried on a correspondence for a few years when he was down there. I've got those letters, still … somewhere! I was impressed by his positive attitude, his listening ear, and his enthusiasm for Christian growth and learning. His letters were a support to me during my first years away from home. May God grant eternal rest to him, and comfort you in your loss. Please give me a call or send me an email sometime soon, at 217-816-6424, or [email protected] C. Tirpak
