I just found Mike’s obituary. I am very sorry to hear about his death. We used to meet for lunch at the Old Mexicali, around my birthday each year, Oct. 9. It’s been a while since we did that. I wish I could have gotten together with him again. I will miss him very much. He was like my mentor with Guns. He helped me buy my first pistol, and he gave me a lot of advice about guns and ammo. He was a good friend.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
