Mike was a magnetic person and as such people were drawn to him in many ways. His heart was huge, and he loved his family and friends in any way he could. I will always remember so many things about Mike especially how he was always the first one to text me and wish me Happy Birthday, Happy Mother's Day, Happy Easter, etc and in his message he would always remind me that I had worth and that I deserved his admiration. I wish I could tell him how much I admired him! RIP Mike!
