I don't know if Mike did this with others but he called me Son almost as often as he used my name. What a great, loving and Christian example he was.

He was my Second Dad ,Cleveland ,Ohio

To the Novosel Family, It is with such sadness that I send a note in remembrance of a great man!! Mr Nov was so special and was so good to me. He is one of a handful of people that I can say truly helped mold what I am today as a father, husband and person. To know him was to laugh with him. To Mrs Novy - Mom - my heart is broken but I am comforted by the fact that he is at peace. You are in my prayers and thank you for what you did for him all these years Mike, Chris and Ann - and of course your special spouses - you all had that special connection with your Dad. He was someone you called and shared everything with that happened in your life. What makes this hard is this is the first thing in your life that has happened that you can't pick up the phone and share with your Dad. But from the sorrow will come great memories and peace and celebration of a great man who lived life to its fullest and loved you all very much!! May God Bless Michael Robert Novosel Sr. always and may God Bless the Novosel Family. Love Always, Bas
