I was truly saddened to hear of your loss. I last saw Mike after my parent's 50th wedding anniversary party in 2002. He was gracious enough to invite us to your home and show us around. I was glad my children were able to meet him.

You all were like a second family to me growing up, and even though time has distanced us, the loss of Mike really hits home. He was really one of the good guys and a proud family man. Everyone in my family sends our deepest regrets.

I was very sorry to hear about your family’s loss. I will never forget when Mike taught me how to parallel park a car...and how he didn't get mad at me when I hit his car :).
