Mike - you made a huge impact on me in my younger years. I viewed being a salesman as glamorous in sort - because of you. You spent a lot of time with me - teaching me, helping me. I always remember several discussions we had and look back on them often to this day. You made an everlasting impression on me and my life. Although haven't been in touch in 20 years, it seems like yesterday. Thank you Michael for sharing your time with me. I will always cherish it. My best to your family - my heart goes out to them in this time of mourning. Aaron Bianchi
