Linda, I am so sorry for your loss. I've known Mike for a very long time. I worked with him at the Krambo grocery store on 8th street and he took me home from work many times, so that my Husband didn't have to wake the kids to come and pick me up. I also work at the Kohler Co. when he worked there. H was such a great guy.

Deepest sympathy to the family of Mike Salerno. I worked with Mike at Kohler Co. and he was always smiling and pleasant. What a nice person to work with. He will be missed very much.

I am so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. We worked together at Kohler for many years. One time at Christmas, on the last day we worked before Christmas vacation started, Mike arranged for a bunch of co-workers to go to lunch at Lakeshore Lanes. We had a great time. We may or may not have returned to work late. Just one of the memories I recall and there were many. Please accept my condolences. Mike will be missed.

Mike was a very caring man. I worked with Mike several years at Kohler Co. I looked forward to seeing and visiting with Mike at the Quarter Century picnics. We always had out picture taken.
I’ve been an elf at the annual Kohler Kids Holiday party for 26 years (still am). Mike was such a awesome little elf, and always enjoyed putting smiles on kids faces.
So sorry for your loss.
Regards and blessings

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Mike at Kohler and carpooled for a couple years as well. He was an awesome man. We had many adventures in Load Planning from “Paradise” to “themed food days”, to holiday decorating. His “Cousin It” costume is still burned into my brain. Peace be with your family as you grieve his loss.

You have my condolences. Michael was a great friend and we visited Jill Kasabuske after the accident and also loved going to 23 club together. Rest in Peace Michael. You were such a great person.
