To the entire Marshlick family, we are truly heartbroken over this. Your husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and our friend was truly a fun-fun guy to be around. He always talked about his family on his trips to Florida. We will truly miss Mike and all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Joe & Marie Bosko (Donna’s sister)

I will miss Mike; so many memories with Mike & Ruth since our younger years. As we grow through stages in our life; I saw Mike grow into a man that loved to help people out in various ways. Mike was an awesome family man. He was an enjoyable friend to be with. Be aware! Mike would make you laugh. My prayers go out to my best friend; Ruth and her family.

I got to know Mike through Ruth, and I realized that he was ALWAYS in the middle of helping out a family member or a friend. What an amazing example of love and compassion for those who knew him!! There was never anything, it seems he couldn’t fix, build, or figure out!!! Ruth took great pride and knew just how much to tell him about a friend’s need, and for good reason!!!
That project would become his next project!! He will be missed by so many friends and family, because Mike was an extraordinary person who gave everything to those he loved.
We are praying for your entire family, and we hope that time might begin healing this awful loss one day at a time.
