gram from Elaine Held, with the news of their son, Joseph Michael Held being born on January 4, 1960. Mick was honorably discharged from the US Navy in March of 1961. The young family relocated to Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin in 1961 where they raised their son, and eventually had three grandchildren. After retirement, Mick and Elaine bought a property in Elcho, in 1994, where they built their beautiful home together. Mick was a loving son, husband, father, great-grandfather, brother, veteran, and friend. He was known for his fun and witty jokester-type personality. He was so mellow-tempered, and such a good-humored man, full of high spirits. Michael was preceded in death by his wife, Elaine Held; both of his parents, Gordon and Margaret Held; sister Judy (Donald) Grennier; brother, Richard (Norma) Held; and his great-grandson, Clayton. He is survived by his son, Joseph (Mary) Held; grandchildren, Jamie Held, Michael (Jeanine) Held, and Jessica (Nick) Schmidt; great-grandchildren, Connor, Landon, Darrin, Mason, Alayna, Kynleigh, Cameron, Kyleigh, Paizleigh, and Oakleigh. He is also survived by his brothers, David (Margarita) Held, Steve (Rita) Held, and Peter (Rosemary) Held; along with many other cherished relatives and friends. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 13 at 2:30 p.m. at the Bradley Funeral Home. Visitation from Saturday from 1 to 2:30 p.m. at the funeral home. Elcho veterans will provide military honors immediately following the service. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Michael's name may be directed to the American Cancer Society. The family would like to thank Rainbow Hospice Care and the Elcho community for the countless acts of kindness they displayed.
