Dad, you will always be in my heart. My father was a very diverse man. Loving, caring and compassionate. He loved life and most of all loved to dance.....
I miss you dad.

Mike was a wonderful person filled with compassion and Christlike Spirit of generosity especially in taking care of his Foster Children.
His example in taking care of these children was something to see and experience. He and his wife were the greatest of care takers in the area.
He will be missed in the area and I pray that he will repose in peace and enjoy the hereafter.
May he rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon him. My condolences to this family, his wife and his many friends and those that he assisted.
