My earlier post did not include Steve´s name and although I had the honor of knowing this wonderful man, it was Steve who shared many good times in high school with this great guy!

This world will not be the same without Mike.
One of the only people I know that didn't have an enemy in the world. He was and still is an absolute and genuine wonderful friend and will be missed by all that ever knew him. I'm expressing the feelings of everyone at our place and probably hundreds of others.
