I'm so sorry for your loss. I've known Mike for many, years. He started guitar lessons with my father before I was born. More recently since the early 2000s he and a few other guys would come over to dad's music shop on Wednesday nights to play together. He was the nicest man. Always with a smile on his face. I will always remember him.
