We are incredibly sad to hear of Mikes passing. Although it has been a few years since we moved from Royal Oak we were lucky enough to be neighbors and loved watching Mike with his children. Watching them run on the golf course with Mike was one of my favorites. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Jim and Julie Gray
