To the Buchholtz family,I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many memories of Mike and Tom growing up in Wells and at camp. Like an extra set of brothers who made everything more fun. I pray for Mike and for strength for all of you who stay behind. My love to Babe and to Tom.

Though I only had the pleasure of knowing Michael about 10 years, visiting with him was one of my many reasons to come to Escanaba. He was not only my Father-in-laws best friend, was like a brother to me. He never missed ensuring he saw Irene and I when we came to town to see mom and dad. His laugh and memories will live forever in my heart! God bless his family in this hour and may they know they are in our hearts and prayers!

Jan & I want to extend our deepest sympathy to you and your family. This was the first we heard that Mike was even sick, so his passing comes as a great shock to us. Mike was a good neighbor and friend and we enjoyed all of our chats with him and you. Life will be different without Mike around for sure, but “underneath are the ever-lasting arms” where we can all look for comfort.

I have many fond memories of growing up with Mike and Tom in Wells. We attended grade school and catechism together as well as played football & kick the cans n the empty lot next to Berubes. Rest in Peace, Mike. My condolences to Babe, Tom and Mike’s wife and family.
