Mike and I go back to the late 1950's. His parents and mine where very good friends from his Chicago Ridge days and my Chicago, Oak Lawn, and Chicago Ridge days. In the 1970's, would often meet him, his cousins Joe Kronenberger and Jim Mansel after work at the tavern on 111th Street. I would also visit him at Parkview Nursery also on 111th Street. We lost touch when he was in Nevada, but got re-acquainted when he moved back to Arkansas. Visited a lot at Parkview Pizza, his and Julie's home, and Mary and Shane's Sanders home. A great, long time friend, that will be greatly missed. My sister, Marie Steagall, and I pray for the repose of his soul and the Lord's comfort for the Kucala and Glade Family.
