FAIRMOUNT - Michael H. Massengale, 60, passed away Tuesday evening at

of service.

He was in the Indiana National Guard for six years with the 138th Signal

Anderson. He had ridden his cycle in all lower 48 states and Canada.

He married Burma Songer on August 11, 1972.

Funeral Home, 8212 South Walnut, Daleville with Pastor James Sandburg

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved
body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy sh**
- what a ride!"
