Mike will be missed by all who came in contact with him. He was the kind of person who you would just meet but feel like he was a friend from way back. My wife Anna Mikes cousin and I were saddened by his passing, may God bless him and his family.
Mike was always ready and willing to help someone out. I appreciate all you did for me as a kid especially the nights we stayed over and all the boat trips. Sending prayers. Zupo
