Mike and I were childhood friends. I remember when we use to play G.I. joe on north Miller. He use to stand up to my bullys, and I'll never forget that. Even as kids he was a leader. I could go years without seeing Mike and that childhood bond remains. I love you Mike you are my brother. God Bless your soul. I pray your family makes it through this time of sorrow. To the family of mike you have my deepest condolences.
