Ah Mike. You were one of my brother Bill's more entertaining friends. I always appreciate how you would stop by my parents house when we were all there so you could see Bill. My parents always enjoyed seeing you as well. To Mike's family, please know the thoughts of our entire family are with you.

Mike was a great friend. He and my brother Bill would get together whenever they were in the same area and I've been lucky to be around a few times as well. Mike's ready smile and mischievous sense of humor were so much fun. A good guy. My condolences to all his family.
