To Mike's family, I cannot begin to know the extent and depth of your loss. Mike seemed to me to be a very caring Husband, Brother, Father and Son. It was obvious to those in his presence, how deeply he cared for all of you. I know he and all of you, mean a lot to our family. Mike leaves a very big hole in the world that will not be filled. Just please take solace in knowing he is at peace. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Chip & Mary.
