Was very sorry to here of Mike's passing. He was one of those few people who had a clear vision of what was best for the working man.
The world is less a place without him. I hope he and Nick are looking down on us and putting in a good word for me and all the brothers and sisters down at Local 510. My condolences to his family.

Only recently Mike and I became friends on Facebook. We had laughs while working at 510. Mike was always one of the most friendliest, sweetest brothers on the floor. He was funny and thoughtful. Loved his punk do's and attire and he could take a joke, for sure.. Miss you Mike. My deepest condolences to his family.
