Everyone here at Bone Fire will miss Mike. We enjoyed his regular visits and I especially liked my conversations about politics and religion, two subjects that were always considered taboo in bars. We agreed more often than not and when we disagreed he was always a gentlemen and listened without getting upset. I will miss Mike.

The last time we spoke to Mike he was planning a trip to Colorado for the stock show, He was upbeat and positive. Last year he came out to Arkansas, helped with the horse auction and did a little bid spotting. What an inspiration.

Did not know Mike well, but he had visited us several times with Michael and Missie Cullop. He was a very nice and well liked young man. I was so sorry to hear of his passing.
