Mike brought great energy to our work place. He would pop into my office and we would talk football (REAL football "soccer") all the time. He would give me hell about Liverpool. I'll never watch another Manchester United game w/o thinking of you. Rest in Peace brother!

Spike was our son's first travel soccer coach and as I would see him over the years as our son grew up he would always ask about him and how he is doing. He will be truly missed.
