Very sorry to hear this- I left the state and wasn't aware. Mike was like an older brother to me; a mentor and a friend. Never too serious, but when he was, it didn't take much to get him laughing again. My condolence to Ruth and the boys, and all his family- a special prayer for his mom, Carmella, who can see no wrong in anyone she meets.
