I was very sad to learn just today of Mike's passing. I worked with him for years and have missed him as our house supervisor; he did a great job and made it appear easy with his relaxed, friendly and cheerful personality. I enjoyed his regular visits to our psych unit and our chats of common interests or what was on his or our minds. He was a wonderful man, a great person to talk to and could always be counted on to have your back.

My son, RJ, and I got to know Mike during set work at CLHS. He was so patient with the teens learning the "tricks of the trade". A kind, caring man who will be missed! Prayers to his family and friends.
