  1. I had the pleasure of working with Mike for 5 years. He was a wonderful person and truly the va life of any party. He will be missed.

  2. CandleImageAcquainted for nearly 33 years, you are still my hero, my rock, my best friend and the one loss I will never overcome. You were the most engaging, lovable human I have known. I miss your laugh attacks, and the ones you gave me. I miss your confident booming voice I could hear from the other end of the golf course. I miss your sarcastic one-liners and your photographic memory of annoying jingles and factoids.
    Life will never be the same for we who knew you.
    I remain your best friend forever.
