I just found out about the passing of "Mikey", as we called him in high school. I remember him as a very kind, caring person who was fun to be around. I know he will be deeply missed by everyone in his life.

To Mike's Family
Mike will be missed. He was a friend I had known for many years. I could always count on him when our elevators at Washington Court Hotel, in Washington, DC needed work. He would be there when I needed him. He was so good at what he did. I can't express how hurt I was when I heard that this happened. May God Always watch over him and his family.

Skip and Diane,
Mmy heart goes out to you. I lost my daughter 7 years ago and it's true, to lose a child, no matter what age, is a dreadful thing. This is such a tragedy for your family. Everyone at work is thinking of you and I'm sure you’re in many prayers. Time makes it easier, but you'll never forget.
