I was shocked to hear the news. I dated Mike, back in our High School days, and on and off until the early '80's. Mike was a great guy, and I often wondered what he was doing with himself. He left me, with very happy memories, of him and all the hockey games I watched him play, he always made me smile. He was a sweet heart, and my thoughts are with you all now.
