He was so kind to us and we were grateful to have met him in the last few months of his life. We met through our cats, whom he began feeding from his porch everyday. He knew more about my cats than I did! What a lovely man, he is missed. And our cats miss him too. It feels empty around here and we miss our late night chats. We love you Mike and will always remember you.
