My condolences to the Haessig family. He will definitely be missed, but he is with Gert again and that is a comfort. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to know the great man that he was.

I will miss Mike. Mike was as good a man as you will ever find. I will never forget the support he gave me the many times I served as Governor at The Moose Lodge. Learned a lot from Mike.
I am honored to have been his friend.
God Bless You,Mike. Say hi to Gertie for me.
