I remember Mike Sr. and the whole Gill family ( Shaun , Mike Jr. , Genie , Danny ) growing up with them .. I remember how Mike Sr. would get young kids gathered up to bring to the BOXING RING in the back room of " Bill Engel's Barber Shop " teaching us kids Boxing Skills , " I myself was one of those young kids who Mike Sr. taught me a lot about Boxing skills , Mike Sr. was a GREAT GUY with a sense of humor who ALWAYS had a big smile on his face and good at telling stories to get you to laugh tears ( LOL ) , and there wasn't nothing he wouldn't do to HELP out a friend .. R.I.P Mike Sr.

What I can say about Mike and his family they were the best neighbors to have around, Mike had a good heart for everyone where he would help anyone out. The best part was when Mike was a trainer in boxing with his two boys, lil Mike and Danny. The boys were like two little rascals boxing in the ring..Those were the good ole days and lot of memories to remember..RIP Mike we will miss you..
