To Mike's family: Through being caught up in my own life, I never heard the news. Mike was a friend a lifetime ago. He was man with a good heart, and a sense of humor. Mike always seemed to be smiling and would do anything for you. Finding Mike's passing, just today, has definitely saddened my day. Till we meet again my friend... Jeffrey L.
