Katie,
Marta and I just found out. I can not find words. I can only be happy the last time we had dinner he was Just Mike. Mike if you are looking down I will never forget the Shanahan's nights with beers and lively conversations. Will miss you buddy.

Katie,
I am shocked and saddened to hear about Mike's passing. I really enjoyed working with Mike and will miss him greatly. My fondest memories is of watching him interact with his customers as I was pestering him for some document or another. Also, on Fridays when I would call him about something, I could hear just by the tone of his voice whether he was in Fontana. He spoke often and with love about his family and new grandchild. Heaven just got a lot more fun!
