My heart aches for you, Leslie, my dearest friend. And for the boys. They are men now but they'll always be Mike's Three Fine Sons. We had such good times when we were younger and I remember those times with Mike very fondly. He adored you and his three fine sons. I will treasure those memories forever. May he rest in peace.

Gone too soon. I have such fond memories of Mike from when I was a teen. I'll always remember his smile. Leslie & family, my thoughts are with you.

His pride and joy
