To the Carswell Family –
My deepest condolences on the passing of a really great guy.
Mike always had a smile and some good works to share.
He was a pleasure for us “younger” people to see and welcomed us whenever we met.
The photo here is a perfect representation of how I remember him – thank you for sharing.
You are all in my prayers and thoughts. Tell some good stories when you gather to help celebrate Mike’s life.
With love – John Frost

To the family of Mike Carswell –
I had the greatest pleasure of working with Mike, as he was our paper salesman at Pfanstiehl Corporation in Waukegan, IL before his retirement in 1997. He was pure joy when he stopped by and was always the best part of my day when he would take care of us. That smile will be the memory I have of him. I extend to all of you my deepest sympathies as you navigate life without him.
May God comfort you in your significant loss, Beth Kerscher
