I knew Mike from my mid teens till now. We both went our separate ways as life moved on. We always had good times together hanging out with other friends he had, and we all liked to work on cars. He would let me drive his Chevette to go see my girl friend in another city close by while he was at work, me without a license (Sorry moms and dads). I'll never forget when he let me drive his Camaro down a side street in Warren. He drop the car into a lower gear and said "hit the gas" and I did. We came to a rise in the intersection it lifted the car up not to be air born but everybody in the car just laughed after that. Carefree fun times! He will be missed by family and friends.
