I worked with Mike a long time ago at Superior Metal Products. He always could make you laugh regardless of the day. Always smiling or laughing. He was fun to play against at the softball. tournaments. We had the same birthday just different year and he´d ask, "when´s your birthday?" Quite the goofball. Mike was a great guy who was fun to work with. He will be missed. My deepest sympathy to the family.
