My deepest sympathy to you all. Mike never meeting a stranger was an understatement. Mike was a trusted and loving friend. I can remember the love and support he had for his little doll...Megan. She was the sunshine in his life. God Bless you all! Rest in Peace my wonderful friend! It was an honor to know you!

When you feel you're going under, hold tighter to my hand. "Lean on me, when you have no strength to stand, and on me when your heart begins to bleed. When you come to the place that I'm all you have, you'll find I'm all you need."

Mike was an amazing person, and it was my honor to be part of his life! As years pass and life moves forward we tend to see our dear friends less than we want, but forever keep them in our heart. The last time I seen Mike was at Smoke and Karol's house about 7 years ago. I had the pleasure of meeting his youngest daughter, and he introduced me to her as "Daddy's school day girlfriend." You will forever be missed and remembered Mike...Rest in peace my friend!
