Our thoughts and prayers from Metal Exchange Corp. to The Rauen Family. I know Mike played a big part in the history of Metal Exchange. My dad always had good things to say about Mike. It wouldn't surprise me if Mike and Morris were talking about aluminum over a nice glass of wine right now!

My favorite sales guy. Fair winds and following seas and nothing but beautiful sunsets to my old and dear friend.
