Uncle Mike, one of my many mentors in my life. I sincerely appreciate & thank you for ALL the lessons you have taught me as your oldest nephew. The countless jokes & laughter we've all shared in the Avery kitchen on countless occasions. Thank you for the unlimited use of your LINCOLN TOWN CAR aka The White Ghost each & everytime I came home on leave while in the Navy. I even remember you telling me I put too much gas in your baby because she's not use to having a full tank of gas in her. Lol. Thank God we have memories, although it truly hurts at this time, I know you're good, and in a better place. I will never forget you Uncle Mike, GODSPEED!
