"Hey Hey Mikey" is how I used to holler at him almost everyday in the parking lot of High school. We come of age together. And Stacy is right there was always something special about Mike. God speed bro , you will be missed. - Jerry Vinson

I have known Mike for such a long time, going back to Sunday school days. Hard to specifically explain/describe but I'm sure all will understand when I say Mike had an extra "something" in his eye or his smile, or eyes AND smile. Actually to me it was how his eye practically met up with and touched his smile on one side that sticks with me. Accurate description or not I am not sure. I do know that is what I saw whenever I thought of him in life and is what I will continue to see after.
God bless.
