My heart goes out to Mike's family and his close friends. His death leaves a
void in so many lives. I met Mike when he and Jim, Joe, Linda, and Ed were
Rogues! and my memories of Mike are what a fun, nice, and sometimes a
little colorful with the language, character he could be. I am so glad I could see him again, after a very long time. Love you Mike, Sally
