Hail and farewell dear Mike.
Your wit, humor and twinkle of irony will be deeply missed along side your exuberant enthusiasm for life.
May you meet the great herds of the Serengeti along your new path, and send stories of them.
Pass in peace ..... with much love.

For a tough guy he sure was an ol' softy.
So many good memories
