Mike, you are a great friend and neighbor. You helped me a lot over the years and I will never forget all that you have done. You where always somewhere between a big brother and a second dad to me. I could never decide which it was. Your memory will live on with me and my family forever. We love you!

The biggest and sweetest teddy bear of a man. He always lit up a room when he walked in. Always upbeat and smiling ....telling jokes and making everyone laugh. It always warmed my heart to see him enter a room. Gonna miss you big guy!
