I close my eyes and can still see you walking into a room with a gleam in your eye and a mischievous smirk on your face-always ready to make my daughter smile like she was one of your own. You made everyone feel special and it was guaranteed that if there was a gathering, you would have everyone laughing with your neverending but consistently witty anecdotes. You always put your family first and fiercely loved them. You will never be forgotten and your legacy definitely lives on through the two, incredible young adults you and Lynn raised. Rest in peace Mike❤
