I am a county clerk who delivered paper work from Mike to other offices and we had intermittent contact. That tall, slender man called Mike I remember as a consistently gentle man, always a kind smile and friendly manners. Am terribly sad to hear about Mike's passing and pray that your love, your loving friends, relatives--and your good memories, will bring comfort and some kind of peace to your hearts.
