I will never forget all of the adventures and fun we had working together all over the country.
The alligators, fireworks, and fire extinguishers.
It still amazes me how we stayed out of trouble.
He is and will be greatly missed.

Sorry, but not sorry at the same time. You are now beyond pain and suffering. Glad I had the opportunity to work with you off and on over the last 36 years. Fair wind and following seas.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mike was a great friend. We met when my brother James and him became friends. Through the years he was kind of like another big brother. We are all going to miss him. Thanks for all the good times Mike!
