Mike: Haven't seen you in years and I'm shocked that a light as bright as yours is no longer with us on this earth. I know you will watch over your family and guard them. I pray God comfort them and bring peace as only He can. Rest in Heaven, Mike.

I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Mike at Premier Subaru. Everytime I saw him he made me smile. We shared the same birthdate July 22nd. The other thing he did every time he saw me he would have a big smile and say "hey Cin..its almost our birthday" no matter what time of the year it was. :) He was a man with a good heart. I am glad to have known him. - Cindy Rinker
