Mike was a legend. He loved his town, his country and his family. He was always willing to share his time and to help do something for someone else. He overcame his own disability to teach honor and strength to others. They don't make them like Mike anymore. God Bless his memory and bless his children and grandchildren. We know he will be missed. He was very special!
