I´m deeply sorry to hear about Mike. I´ve known Mike and Robert since 1973-we first met when Robert and I were in 3rd grade. Mike was like a father figure to me. He had a way of making me feel welcome, always treating me as though I were part of the family. I have so many memories of Mike, but one of my fondest memories of him is the time he taught Robert and I the secret to great pasta sauce by-simmering it all day. And wow, was it delicious! He was one-of-a-kind and will truly be missed.
