I am truly saddened by the passing of my old friend Mike. Although the years have flown by since we hung out together with a great group of guys, it seems like time has stood still. I can still hear his ever-present laugh and see his smiling, happy face! In fact I never saw him without a smile to give. A truly remarkable friend who played a key role as pals embarking upon adulthood. Thank you for the many great times together Mike. Your presence is a true aura that I have always felt and with your passing I treasure it even more. Rest In Peace brother. You left an indelible mark on all who had the pleasure to be a part of your world.
