Mike was a true gentleman and total class act. He gave great piping advice and was a pleasure to do business with. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. His immeasurable contributions to the piping fraternity is just one example how he exemplified himself in the community. He was so passionate, so prepared and so ready to ready to jump in with all he had to share. We honor Mike and celebrate his life.
