Mike was a gentle soul, wrapped up in a gruff exterior, which fooled no one. He was a great role model for his sons, and it was easy to see that he loved every fiber of Shirley's being. . He bore the difficult last few years with grace and dignity.

His family will miss him, for they all know he was a special person. He will live their hearts forever.
