I worked with Mike at Appalachian Tire. I managed the Clarksburg, WV location. He was a good friend. I always enjoyed time spent with him. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Prayers for Mandy.

It was a pleasure to work with you sir. Many of memories will carry you on in my heart and mind! Mike, on the days that I messed up on something, you would always give me a hard time and say son if I didn’t like ya then I wouldn’t pick on ya. The kindness that some may not have seen, I have witnessed it myself from an accident that I had. Your main concern that I was ok and that I learned from my mistake. Love ya buddy. Rest in peace, we will take it from here sir!
