Mike was my neighbor 30 years ago. He was such a nice and happy guy. We used to watch pay per view wrestling together and hang out often. I was always impressed with Mike being a good human being, he really was. Unfortunately we lost touch, as life sometimes goes. Mary, I never met you but my heart is with you and your children. I'm so happy Mike met you and found true love, raising a family together. God bless you and I'm so sorry
