I am so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. We were old friends at Airgas where Mike kept us in both good humor and good business. Mike was a genuine good guy, and my thoughts and prayers are with the Dente family as you mourn the loss of a valued and loved man. May God richly bless the Dente family.
