Just got the news and it´s so sad. A good man passed too soon. We were for a time the best of friends but we moved on - it´s been a long time since I heard that growl of a laugh or faced the fierce competitor that he was. Mike epitomized good. He did right. He never complained. He worked hard to win and celebrated effort and trying and being your best. Our cleanup hitter in softball and the anchor of our bowling team with our wives, Mike always made everything better. Rest in peace old friend. Your memory is a blessing I will carry with me.
