I am so saddened to hear of Mikies passing. I just learned today from Wayne Minton and upon hearing it, I instantly broke down in tears. I have very dear memories of Mikie...we all had so much fun growing up together at Curtis. I wish I had known sooner so I could have done something more for the family. Please know that you are in our prayers. Mikie was a GREAT guy and while its been years since I have seen him, I will never forget what a true friend he was.
