Mike, you were always such a good friend to Troy and me. You filled the room with laughter and gave me more memories than I can count. I owe you so much for introducing me to my husband. Without you I wouldn't be who I am today, and I wouldn't have the family I do now. I admired you so much for your love for your son and wife. You were such a proud father. You will never be forgotten your friends and family loved you so much. Thank you for being in our lives and in our hearts!
