Selma & Family,
We were so sorry to learn from Loren that Mike passed away. We have so many great memories of times spent together, cribbage on the Aruba sand, Thursday night dinners with games and side-splitting laughter. Mike was a really great guy and will truly be missed.
Our thoughts are with you and your family.
