There are no words to adequately express the sadness I felt when I heard about the death of Mike.
My head is filled with images of Mike and the joy he brought to us all who were lucky enough to know and love him.
As long as the memory remains they will inspire new life. He was and always will be family.

I've known Mike for several years as a motor officer. He was a role model to others in the profession. Mike had a warm smile that always made things calmer. He will be missed by many. RIP brother in arms.

Michael (mike the cop) taught me how to
Use my gun at the shooting range. Mike is a good friend of my daughter Stephanie's. Being a senior he was extremely patient with me.

I will miss you Mike and sending my condolences to your family.
