I smile as i think of Mike as Santa at The Good House ... and when he took 90+ year old Aunt Marie on her first motorcycle ride. What a hoot! He was one of the most kind and caring men I have known and I was privileged to be his friend. He will be missed, but there are so many good memories that will live on ... my heart is with you Nancy and the rest of Mike's family ... may you find comfort and peace in the days to come.
