I have known Mike since he was a very small
child and have always been very fond of him.
He grew up to be an even finer young man. He
was a very talented athlete and shared his talented for many years coaching. I never saw Mike that he didn't take time to speak and talk a few minutes. We will all miss Mike. Our loss is heavens gain.
