Cathy, I am so sorry for your loss. Mike was a long time friend in High School. We did a lot of things together. We both loved music. After graduation in 1968, I never knew where Mike went. He would have been in the U.S.Army about the same time as he was. I did not hear of his passing until yesterday. I knew his sisters Cheryl and Robin as well as his parents. Did not hear what caused him to pass. Deeply missed and loved.
