Deb, I am so very sorry, I worked with mike for years and always referred to him as my "late in career training officer". He was there for a code or advice or any back up I needed. He was the kindness man I ever knew and a total delight to share a relief with! Never had a cross word and was never without a smile.

You have my deepest deepest
sympathy he was almost to kind to be a policeman yet was one of the best.
