I'm so sorry to hear that Mike has passed away. My sincere condolences to his loved ones. Mike and I had our first real restaurant jobs at Franks Steakhouse when we were still in high school. Mike had been working there a while when I started and he went out of his way to show me the ropes. We had so many good times on the job. He would often play Flight Of The Bumblebee on the jukebox while we did the night cleanup. He made going to work so much fun.

A member of our late 1970's NCUHS "mafia" where we always had a great time together. Will miss those days Mike. Say hello to the Melvin Kelley and Larry Castro and save the rest of us a beer and some laughs when we all meet again. Condolences to your family and say hi to your Dad!
