I worked with Mike for 17 years, and have been privileged to have called him a friend for 25+ years. Anyone that knew Mike, knew how good of a man he was. He was a great mentor, boss, and an even better friend. I will never forget the laughs we shared, and even the hard times we shared, they are very special to me and my family. He was always laughing at cutting up with my wife and children everytime he seen them. My prayers are with his wife and family, may god bless and comfort you in this time of grief. Mike you may not be here with us, but the input you had on us will live forever in our lives. Dear friend , you will always live in mine and my family's hearts forever, we miss you and love you.
