Dad,
You taught me to stand up for myself, be strong and independent, common sense and logic (lol), and I will always be grateful to you for that. You thought I wasn't listening but I was. I have always idolized you and been a daddy's girl. I will miss you and the times I'll wish we had to bet on more football games, text, be your "favorite" bartender, have a drink, listen to oldies and just talk.
I love you and miss you.
TJ

My prayers are with Mike, his family and friends. I was a PC Tech at George Alarm when Mike started in sales. It's been many years since I'd seen him. A good guy that took pride in his work. He will be missed by many.

Pat and Hud, I am so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. He will be missed by all he came in contact with.
Many people ask me what I miss since I moved to Myrtle Beach and I always say my Thursday nights at Darcy's. Mike was a special part of that night. I will miss him!
