Mike was a good friend of my kids, Keith Smith and Judy Soderstrom (Smith), during High School at Montgomery.
He would come over to our house frequently and was always a happy, outgoing person.
We have been kept up-to-date with Mike's life through Judy, who has stayed in touch with him over the years.
He will be missed.
Sincerely,
Donna Clark
