I have known Mike for many years - when I was in my 20s I worked at a shoe store at Rolling Acres Mall - Mike worked right next door at Baskin Robbins - needless to say, there were many shenanigans back in the day. It is odd how he has/had come back into my life lately as a fellow cyclist with Team Lake Effect. We rode together in the fall at Hampton - he saw the Trek I was riding and apparently went up and bought one himself...
we rode and talked about his work, family, and how he was making more time to ride and enjoy the outdoors, it was a lovely time - this is very sad - my condolences...
