I was saddened to hear of Mike's passing. He and I both attended St Mary's High. He was one year ahead of me. I saw him often at WalMart working hard, where he gave so many years of his life. Always friendly, and cheerful to customers and friends, despite often suffering from his medical symptoms. He will be missed by the many friends, and people whose lives he brightened at WalMart. We know he is in better place now and no longer suffering from the illnesses he valiantly battled.

Mike was friend that I always enjoyed his company. I would often see him at Walmart where he would take time off to go have coffee. He will truly be missed & I hope he didn't suffer..RIP my brother
