I miss Mike everytime I pull into the Wildwood parking lot. His car was always parked there and he was always marching along on one of the trails.

I always think of him when I pull into the parking lot near the mansion. Remember where he parked and his upright posture as he walked at a good pace. Always had a good word to say whenever passing bye.

I so enjoyed meeting Mike in Wildwood Park where he would always stop and pet my dog, Blue. He often had treats too. I counted him a friend and will miss seeing him and his cheerful greetings. He was one of a kind and a kind one at that. Much love to his family.

My condolences to Mike´s family. I knew Mike from a good friend of mine from playing in pool leagues. I met him at Wildwood Metro Park on the walking trails and he was helpful in finding doctors for my wife and myself. He was truly a great person to know, and I will miss him walking on the trails. RIP
