We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Mike. My husband worked with him in the coal mines. We also would see him out and about when we were riding motorcycles. Many years later he was in the same facility (the Anchor) as my Mom and I often would visit with him during lunch, when my husband would come to visit with my Mom, he and Mike would talk and reminisce about their days as repairmen in the coal mines and many other things they had in common. We were very sorry to see that the last years of his life were spent in such bad health. Our condolences to his family. Dave and Leah Stallman
