I worked with Mike at Intermetro industries. Great worker, tough as hell and one of the funniest people I have ever met. It was a pleasure to work with him and I'm sure he will be missed by many of his co-workers.

Mike was always a positive, can do type of person. He never complained and held his head high through all of life's struggles. I won't forget Mike. It was an honor to know him. From a nurse
