I miss you grandpa.
Love,

We did all our car/truck purchases at Parsons-mainly because of Mike. He was not only our
favorite salesman,but a dear friend too.
He always called me "Lucky"-my husband and I were the lucky ones to know him,and his family.
Mike now gambles with my husband,Richard in Heaven. Deepest sympathy to all the family.
Mary Holtz, Crandon.
Our sympathies to Mark and Barb and the Pomasl family on the loss of your father, husband and friend. May God be with you at your time of loss.
our sympathy to Mark and Barb and the families of Michael Pomasl
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time of loss.
Something JULS & I know...
The sadness and sorrow of the loss of a loved one,
Over time gives way to
Bittersweet reflections upon
What was...
Or, perhaps, what could have been.
*****
Somewhere, somehow our reflections become memories
And eventually,
Given enough time,
We find ourselves with
Cherished, Fond Memories.
...but it takes time.
Thinking of ALL of you. JULS & Lynn
So many amazing memories with our families. From the Crocker Hills Country Club to a few late night parties at our house, the Pomasl house or the Hoffmans to the Elcho/White Lake rivalry. We shared a Birthday... March 28.. Mr. P. also sold me my first 2 cars. We are so sorry for the loss of this great man and we will keep the entire family in our thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. Love Mike Gamble and family.
Deepest sympathies.
My condolences to the Pomasl family. Thoughts & prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Mary Kay Kuenzli
Jackie,Susie,Ron,Mark,Larry;
I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear dad. Please know that you are all in my prayers and thoughts through this difficult time. May you find comfort knowing that he is with God, and saving a place for his loved ones. Again I am sorry for your loss.
I have so many memories of Mike, I don't know how to condense them into one. He was always the go-to guy for a new car. He always took care of me and I knew I was in good hands. He was funny, caring and an all around great guy. I will be forever grateful for the close friendship he had with my Dad right up until the very end. Mike - we will miss you so much. Lenore, Ron, Jackie, Mark, Larry, Susie, Dale, Debbie and Diane you have my deepest sympathy and love.
