I met Mike while working Bingo at St. Stephen the Martyr. He was personable and was pleasant to work with.

Our condolences to Vickey and the family. My time with Mike dates back to when he was on patrol in the township. I was the youngest of 6 boys in Briggsdale and with that being said my Mom and Dad became friend's with Mike. He would stop by and Dad would say which one is it now. And multiple times it was just to make sure all was well and have a cup of coffee with my parents. Fast forward 25 years later when Robbin and I went to church at West side and got re-aquatinted with Mike and Vickey. It's amazing what God can do for anyone that is willing to admit and accept has plan. Mike until we meet again keep the smile going and tell Mom and Dad we miss them.
