I am very sorry to hear of Mike's death. He seemed to have disappeared in the last part of August when I could not contact him via phone or email. We often had lunch on Friday's to "just chew the fat".

He was a genuine caring guy. Always there to help out and never really looking for payback. He will be missed by many.

Rest in peace my friend.
