I'm sorry to hear the news of Mikes passing. I just got to know him in the last year. We spent many mornings together , along with others over coffee at Panera Bread. I also had the opportunity to join him for dinner on a couple of occasions. I always enjoyed his stories and kindness to others. Prayers go out to his family members.

I’ve known Horse since Edgelea Elementary school! He was the older brother of my good friend Catfish! Two of the nicest guys I have ever had the pleasure to know! Always a credit to Cleo and Lois’s parenting skills but secure in his own way to live a life in the manner of his own choosing! My sympathies to his brother Cat ! RIP Horse!
