 cJ l We the Class of 1986, would like to remember Mike Cron who died on February 12, 1986. Mike fought bravely for over 6 weeks before succumb- ing to the injuries he sustained in an auto accident during Christmas vacation. Mike, who was the son of Mary and Michael Cron, was born April 30,1969 and grew up in this area. He had one brother, Jeffrey, who was a year and a half old when Mike passed away. Mike and Jeffrey had a very special relationship, made even more meaningful by their difference in age. Michael will be remembered as a boy who loved the outdoors and hunting — especially with relatives. He truly enjoyed playing his guitar and was looking forward to mastering the new electric guitar that he had received for Christmas from his parents. Mike was in his junior year at S.V. and was enjoying the fun and frustrations of high school days. We are thankful for the time we spent with Mike, but it was too short. He will be missed. Michael Cron 1969-1986 A Tribute I feel that I knew Michael very well. Words can't really describe what he was like. A lot of the memories I have of him were different than he was in school. At home he was very caring and he really liked little kids (he used to babysit for one of our neighbors) and he worked on his uncle’s farm. Mike always wanted to make people happy, even if he himself would have to be a little less happy. Once when I wanted to use his tent to have a friend sleep over, he brought it and set it up — not until later did I learn that he had planned to use it. Although he didn’t play school sports, he was a good athlete and would play soccer with me almost every day over the summer. He loved music and his room was covered (ceiling and all) with pictures of rock stars that he admired and maybe would have someday become one. I said before that he worked on a farm — he had a way with animals (people too). He had a dog “Mitzy” and I swear they could communicate. He was very gentle and caring and could express his feelings easily and for some of us that is hard to do. Although I knew him well, this has been hard to put into words. His friend, Kelly Weiss 5 P.S. He could make himself sound like Kermit the Frog!!
