So sad to hear the news. I will miss seeing him and Cindy sitting at my rail playing keno together! And him giving me a hard time, but he was one of my favorites to do so….so sorry to the whole family who lost such a great guy, who always called me “Honicutt”
We are very sorry to hear of Mikes’ passing. Deepest Sympathies to the family and loved ones.
Remembering Mike with affection. I am deeply saddened by Mike’s passing. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the entire Luteyn family. We shared a childhood together and the memories of our countless adventures will remain with me until the end of my days. Cub Scouts, Little League, Ottawa Beach, Slot cars, nearly drowning at Eagle Lake, delivering Parchment Journals, working for Johnny and Earl at the Bicycle shop, and many many others. Thanks for the meomories, Mike! Gods speed. Riding bikes in the Ugga Booga, will never be the same.
