I met Mike at agee 11 in Boy Scouts in San Angelo, and we immediately became best friends. We spent many weekends at his family camp on the Devil's River near Del Rio, a wilderness area now acclaimed as the most pristine waters in the US.
Although we grew apart as we grew older, our close almost brother-like affection for each other endured through the years. He was a fine and unique gentleman and I will cherish our friendship forever. Tom Jones, Austin.
