Mike was a great friend during the past 15 years at the American Legion Post 20 SAL. He made us a much better organization because he was there and was certainly the best sports trivia person I have ever met.

I guess in life we would all like to make the world a better place because we were there and Mike certainly accomplished that in all he did.

We are going to miss you and I am looking forward to the "celebration of life" for you on December 4th at Post 20 from 2pm until 4 pm.
