I cannot believe that we lost Mike 5 years ago. He was a great co-worker and wonderful friend. I miss his sense of humor and having coffee with him each morning that we worked together. I miss the 4th of July picnics with Mike, his wife Jeannine and her family. Rest in peach Mike, you are missed!

Dear Jeanine and Family, I remember Mike on that coffee shop stool at the then Seaside restaurant when I occasionally got breakfast there. I enjoyed dancing from time to time when he deejayed at different functions too. I also remember Mike was into anything electronic! Above all he was always kind and affable to me! Love to you and your family, in remembrance! xoxo
