So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. I only found out yesterday. Donna and Mike were the highlight of my days while working in the casino at the Off Track Betting. I always teased him that his numbers were upside down because his horses always came in the opposite order he bet them in. My condolences to his family.

Mike was a good guy, I went to HS with him. He was always ready to lend a hand and was fun to be around.
