Mike and I met in 1983 when he hired me to work with him at Atlantic Bank. We later worked together through various Bank Mergers and I later went to work with him at his new venture AMC mortgage company. We loved to poke fun at one another, in 1996 Mike had heart surgery and stopped by the office carrying a heart shaped pillow to his chest. After making several comments he later said be careful what you say. Well in 2015 it was my turn, open heart surgery. Mike was there with my family and lead them in prayer, while in recovery I became a bleeder and had to be reopened again, to the surgeons surprise the bleeding stopped. I firmly believe with Mike and my families prayers I was healed. I wish I had been there to pray for him at his time of passing. Will miss you my special friend.

" Mike was a caring and very sensitive man.." We met in 1983 when he hired at Atlantic Bank. We worked together during various bank mergers and later when he opened AMC mortgage. We loved to poke fun at one another, after he had his first heart surgery he stopped by the office carrying a pillow heart next to his chest. After several jokes he said "One Day This May Happen To You". In 2015 it became my turn and he was there leading my family in prayer, after the initial operation I became a bleeder and had to be reopened and I firmly believe with his and my family prayers I was healed. I wish I had been there on his last day to pray for him. Will miss you my wonderful friend.
