Hey pawpaw! It's your oldest granddaughter or as you told everyone your babysitter. I miss you like crazy. I didnt think you were going to go this soon. You were my best friend you were the first person I went too when I had any problems because I knew you'd listen to me then ask where they were so you could "hit them upside their head with your tirebuddy". I'm trying to stay strong but I'll take really good care of mawmaw for you. I love you forever and always. Rest in peace my angel ❣

So sorry to hear about Mike's passing, he will be missed by so many people. He was always the " information center", he knew everything happening in his community, knew everyone, always checking on everyone's vehicles, helping anyone who needed help.
His spirit will always be with us.
