You are in my thoughts and prayers and you have my deepest sympathy.My first encounter with Mike was in ninth grade.If memory serves,Mike came to Crestview junior high from Riverview in ninth grade when he and his family moved to Guilford st. in the middle of the school year.Freshman were still middle school then.On a snowy winter day many students were walking up Guilford St. on our way home from school when Mike starting pelting everyone with snowballs and laughing his head off while doing so.Mike was just trying to engage us in a snowball fight and we were quick to accomedate and the snow ball fight was on.Thats when Mike and I became friends.I thought"this kid has more energy than anyone I`ve ever met"..I was right.I also had the pleasure of working with Mike for many years at Noll Printing.He was one of the best workers that I ever worked with and a perfectionist and I`m not just saying that.Mike worked hard even when the job didn`t require him to do so.That set him apart.Mike loved his job and and proved everyday that Noll made the right choice by hiring him.Everyone liked Mike.In recent years whenever I run into an ex co worker from Noll they almost always ask me,hows Mike or whats Wallace up too.I`ll never forget him.May God bless all of you.
