I am so sorry for your loss. He was a very special person in my life so many memories. Thank you for sharing Mike with me.
RIP Mike. I will never forget all the times we shared growing up. Jamison roller rink the farm the times driving listening and singing to the Carpenters then I got my license and we would call each other about what cars to drive. The brown blue or truck.
