Mike was a great guy and it was my privilege to have known him. His daughter and our daughter went to school together and we saw Mike at every event involving Julie- he was a dedicated and loving Dad. My condolences to Larry, Kay, Julie, Stephen, and all the Muellers. He will be missed and will be in my prayers.
