I'm sadden to hear this news and my thoughts and prayers to the Donovan family and children. Mike was always a kind man to me and those around him. My deepest sympathy at this difficult time.

Mike and I were able to visit, "catch up" and laugh about our past experiences recently at the visitation for our mutual friend Ed Piper. Mike was a member of the Lafayette Crew that spent many hours at the Foushee home and is also fondly remembered by them. Our sincere condolences to his family and many friends.
