Mike's Dad

Mike's Dad Ken unexpectedly passed away this morning. His 56th birthday would have been tomorrow. They are unsure of the cause still - probably something sudden. Ken lived in Florida for many many years and worked at NASA. He just recently moved back to MN a few months ago. During that time, Mike was able to go to a Twins game with him, Ken helped Mike work on his truck, he got to meet Ashley and Bennett got to know him and called him "papa". Papa bought Bennett a twins hat and he always says Papa as he puts in on. Ken moved back to MN to not only be closer to his family but also to open a FireHouse Subs restaurant (quite the change huh - from NASA to a restaurant owner!) We really don't know any details yet. Mike is pretty shocked since this was so sudden. Please keep all of us but especially Mike in your prayers during these next days and weeks ahead.
