I just found out about Mike's passing. Mike had a great and unforgettable personality. But most important, He was a Christian, we had many discussions on the subject. Mike is with the Lord today. And that is always the "bottom line". I feel very blessed to have known Mike and Charlene.

Mike many times heard my high regard and respect for him. Often I would say to him, 'When I grow up, I want to be just like You!'
