Suddenly, instantly my dad Mike Bird died when winds blew three trees onto his cart as he was driving back to the clubhouse Wednesday the 18th around 6:30 pm. He had been playing some golf as was his passion. We thank all of you for your kind thoughts, words and deeds. We expect to have a celebration of life at Brocksmith in Loogootee on the 28th. He was known to say that death was a part of life and would encourage each of us to carry on without worry. I miss you dearly dad! How many hole-in-ones are you getting now?!
