1st pic! I've watched Mike play since we first met back before 2000 came around.. What got me into and interested in music biblically, and in all Genres!! Second pic! Wasn't around then although Mike shared and introduced me to many in this picture, and got to know them well through the years! 3rd pic, is a short while after we had met and began to share many a days and years rellying upon each other in life at that time in our lives so much that my daughter and Lily grew up together very closely! Matter fact all my kids grew to know Mike as family to one another! Me Mike and even Ian worked with one another for a few years then as well! 4th pic, I learned who the man was and what he stood for during these times no matter where or how he made time for family didn't matter the station in life at this time he always still made sure he was involved!! I learned from him in this way with my own family and children. Thank you my friend..You can't and wont never be forgotten for these reasons!!

My first memory was at age 4 he had a patch over his eye like a pirate. We went to children's palace and got baby dolls.
