Kristy, and Mike’s family ...

Of course words cannot ease what you must be going through at this time. However, please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers with hopes that, with time, some of the deep sadness will lose its grip.

I am so glad I knew Mike. We had so much fun back in the early 80s going to Florida State games and other Langley family events! I am also glad I was able to reconnect with him last year when my AC needed to be replaced! He was fun and funny, and a loyal friend.

I will always see is portrait at Vito’s and remember a lot of fun times.

Sincerest condolences,

Brian and Liisa Rowland
