My sincere condolences to all of the Suler family. I guess I had known Mike ever since moving to Fairfield over 50 years ago. We both served on the Renew prayer group committee at Saint Thomas More. Back in 1979 I stopped by his nursery on Route 46 quandering what to do about all the trees and shrubs at my just deceased father-in-law’s farm in Bloomfield. Out of kindness Mike came to the farm with me. He suggested that I run an ad in the newspaper for people to come and dig their own trees and shrubs. It was a relief to a big burden for our family.
