Mike was my manager in the camera dept at Target in the late 1970´s. He was supportive in teaching employees how to do things correctly. I recall when microwaves were first sold at Target and how much fun he had cooking bacon for customers and himself! Most of all he had a great sense of humor. He had a hand sign from high school and would say, "Yo" then laugh and laugh. He was a complete joy to know and work with for so long. Proud he was so successful at Target. I send my heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. The loss is extremely difficult to accept. May peace be with Mike and all those whose lives he touched.
