We always enjoyed sharing a beer and a glass of wine with Mike and Carol. God must have needed a good cook in heaven so he called Mike...Mary Ann Graham, his sister In law

Mike was a very special person and will be missed by many. He was so kind, thoughtful and sincere. The world needs more people with his traits.
