Over the many years I have known Mike, he is one of my very favorites. He was always happy to see me, share a good laugh, and to be consistent and supportive through all of life's ups and downs. I will always remember him for his kindness and his gentle spirit. My thoughts are with Ida Mae and her daughters and all of Mike's precious grandkids.

He was one of the very best. I, for one, will miss him not being here.
