My condolences go out to his family. I was on a Flag Football team Mike coached at St Agnes back in the mid 70s. His sons were on the team as well. Later sold him Trophies from Olympic Awards/Rudig Trophies. Last time I saw him we were both selling beer for god at St Agnes Church Festival about 15 years ago. He was a great guy and will be missed.

I had the pleasure of meeting and spending some time with Mike over the years with his son and my good friend Kevin. And I’ll say this, which I think says it all, i just remember laughing my ass off!! My deepest condolences to all in the Apel Family and to all those who loved and will miss Mike. He was one of the good ones!

May the Perpetual Light shine upon Mr. Apel and may he rest in peace. Fondly recall many cherished childhood memories with Mr. Apel and his family growing up in Butler, WI and attending St. Agnes school and parish. He was my brother's basketball coach and a close friend to my dad. My deepest condolences to Kerri and all the family. May the love and comfort of family and friends surround you all at this sad time. Be assured of my prayers for all who mourn the loss of our beloved Mr. Apel. May Our Lord and Our Lady hold you close and bring peace and consolation in the coming days and months. God bless you.
