My condolences to Mike´s Family & Friends. Worked with Mike at Specialty Records. Really nice guy with a great sense of humor. One day at the plant in downtown Olyphant, a machine broke down and Maintenance said it would take hours to fix. He lived nearby and invited me to his house where we watched the newly released movie "Midnight Run" in its entirety. Made us sandwich´s and we laughed for hours. Rest in peace Mike.
