Uncle Mikey was my Dad (John Odette’s) best friend. He was chosen family and we were all incredibly blessed to have been chosen by him. I have many fond memories of visiting the two of them on oil field surveying jobs in dusty small towns where Mikey would cook us the best meals and make us laugh hours into the night. He was an incredible, sweet, honorable, funny, strong, wonderful man who filled our hearts with joy and our stomachs with his amazing food. He loved with all his heart, and if you were lucky enough to know him, you were lucky enough to have known the most unconditional love and support. His larger than life laugh and personality will echo in our hearts and the love he gave will live on through those of us who learned from him how to share it.
