Nancy and family, we are so sorry for your loss. The New Orleans Voodoo Senior Olymipic volleyball team learned about Mike yesterday in Biloxi. We will miss him dearly. He was a great guy and a pleasure to play with and against. It was all about having fun. I personally left messages on his cell last week as he was recruiting me to play on his Northshore team. I was shocked to learn why he had not responded. Well wishes from the team, Jerry, Terry, Eric, William and Carl.
