Mr. Mike was truly one of a kind. He and my father shared a bond of friendship lasting an incredible 64 years, a connection so deep they were often mistaken for brothers. When he, my dad, and my late uncle gathered, the stories would flow like a river, filled with laughter and shared history. Though we weren't related by blood, Mr. Mike was family in every way that mattered. We will love him always and miss him dearly.
