Mike, SR ..I'm sad that your gone but its unfortunate that it takes a loss to remember good times..Bish Thompsons Bar..the krafts of coors lite and popcorn..listening to my crazy drama stories and allowing me to take care of your office for the past 18 years..you were a great boss and will never be forgotten. You have helped me in ways that you have never realized..you probably did. My deepest sympathy to your family and staff.

Couldn't ask for a nicer boss or nicer guy. Mike was always quick with a great joke(some dirty, some clean but always funny). At the same time he was also very generous and ethical. I am just one among very many who will miss him.
Rest in Peace Big Mike,
Jean
