Mike and I spent lots of time together when we were younger! We spent hours talking and just hanging out watching movies and also we would all go to coal chute road while the guys raced their cars and trucks!! We had fun parties!! Last I seen Mike was a few years ago when he came to Kearney and we hung out for the day! We kept in touch regularly. I miss him so!! Condolences to his family!! He always spoke very highly of his family and he missed his mom and dad dearly so now he is with them enjoying precious time with them!! Fly high Mike until we meet again!! Much love and memories of you my dear friend!!
