Patience,
Please know that you, Joey, and Ethan are in our thoughts and prayers. We have so many good memories of Mike supporting Joey and his teammates at the many baseball games and tournaments. What a supportive and loving dad!

So sorry to hear about Mike's passing. First met him years ago back in the 80s through my Uncle Rich when we would all go up to Keystone Raceway along with Mike's cousin Mike of the same name and Todd Charles. He was always nice to me and had a beautiful black fox body Mustang GT convertible that he was racing. If I remember correctly it had a silver bottom. Ran into him briefly again years after that when I was working at Quick Mick's Chrysler and he was selling cars. He still remembered me...R.I.P Michael...
