To all of Mike’s loved ones and the Trailboss Family: I am so sorry to hear about the passing away of Mike. He was a special person. While I was employed at Fort Richardson I had several occasions to interact with Mike on contract matters and he was always very nice and had something good to say about everyone. My prayers are with you all.
