His wife, Catherine L. Bertelson, and son, Christopher B. Kraus, are deeply saddened but find comfort in knowing he was welcomed with open arms by his own father, Ludwig Kraus, and father-in-law Arthur Bertelson. Mike also leaves behind his loving mother, Aida Kraus; brother, Henry Kraus; sister- and brother-in-laws; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Honor and ethics were foremost in his life and never led him astray; he lived by his word. Mike was proud to serve his country as a Captain in the United States Air Force where he flew C141 aircraft during the VietNam war.
An open house will be held in his honor on Tuesday, March 20 from 3:00 – 5:00 at the family residence. To leave an online condolence for the family, please visit our website at www.steward-williams.com.
Now, endless BackRoads await my Adventurer and forever friend.
Ride Free, Maza wakan. Bert
