Many big hugs to Mrs. Aucutt Anita Bob and all the family. Mr. Aucutt was a wonderful loving sweet man who was generous, laid back, welcoming, patient, and raised a wonderful family. He welcomed me into his family (after a crazy drive cross country with Anita to visit St. Louis) & came to my graduation from Jefferson in Philadelphia. It’s funny how your best friend’s parents feel like your own. Much love to everyone: I wish that I could be there in person next week.
We were saddened to learn of Mike’s death, but glad to hear he’d had an interesting and wonderful life, and that he was very loved. We send condolences and hugs from his cousin (and classmates) Kenny and Lois Hunziker. Mike graduated with us in 1966. He was in the hospital nursery with me, too, as he was born the day after me. My mother, Georgia Karhoff Hunolt, was Mike’s mother’s aunt. We Hugs for all of Mike’s loved ones there. We still live in the county where Mike grew up. Hugs from cousin, Lois Hunolt Hunziker
