I went to school with Michael. I also went to the Trinity Lutheran Church. I am sure the only one of you that would know who I am is Beverly. My older sister is Peggy Stoddard and my older brother is Chuck Stoddard. Michael was a dear, sweet guy! I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I use to see him at the library. God bless you all!
