Knew Mike for over 50yrs. He was a great co-worker, friend and Santa Claus to my children, which we will never forget. He was good company for all when St.Peter opened the gates. We´ll sorely miss him down here.

So sad to hear about Mike's passing! I have so many great memories at your house as a kid - like when we were out in the yard throwing aluminum foil balls up when the bats were flying around! It's hard to lose a parent - know you all are in my heart and in my prayers!
