So sad to hear Mike has passed. First we called him Washing Machine Mike as he supplied us all machines at the Fairground. Then it turned to Mr. Mike out of the love and friendship. He loved the horses and we loved him. Rest in peace Mike. We miss you. Leo and Lisa Gabriel

Mike, you were like an Uncle to me. You taught me much about life and I'll always remember growing up down the street from you. I can never thank you enough for what you did for my Mom and I after Katrina. You will be dearly missed. I have seen things so beautiful they have brought tears to my eyes. Yet none of them can match the gracefulness and beauty of a horse running free. Love you Mike.
