Mike: I remember growing up across the street watching racecars being built, eating Dominoes Pizza with the family, Karate Classes, Kita, Ginger, gun shows and motercycles. All the guys in the neighborhood looked up to you and learned a lot about becoming a man. Later in life I was fortunate enough to remain friends with you. Helping with the move to Burleson, playing with the boys downstairs and home cooked dinners with with you and Jodi. You offered a place to go when things weren't exactly going the way I wanted as I was groing up. Always an ear when I needed someone to talk to.

Thanks for being a good friend. You will be missed...
