Mike was one of the nicest men I have ever known. He was a great help to me through his employment at Self-Help, Inc. I only, more than a year later, learned of his passing through an associate of his at Self-Help. I could never say a bad word about him, although we only knew each other from over the phone conversations. I will miss him, as a person, and for all his commitment to helping others.
