Debbie & Family, my Deepest Condolences to you. I knew Mike when he was the garage attendant for Lincoln Library... he was a character, he always gave me a hard time( I also gave it back to him (smile) but most of all he always had that smile on his face and he was genuinely a happy person and you couldn't help but feel happy whenever you encountered Mike, he also was very knowledgeable and I often left him knowing something that I had not....he will be missed.
