Mike will be missed. He was one of those friends that when you hadn't talked to in awhile, you would talk with like no time had passed at all, immediate reconnection.

I am so heartbroken. I have known Mike since we were in grade school. Lots of great times were had. The class of 75 will never be the same. RIP
