Mike was a true friend. We we’re teammates back in high school and continued our friendship through the years
Courtney and Austin- our deepest condolences to you both. Anthony and I just found out yesterday-and are beyond shocked and sad. Your dad was one in a million. We knew him for over 35 years-he loved to talk about his kids so much. I feel like he was just at our office and sharing stories and laughing. He will be so terribly missed. He was such a great human being with such a gentle heart. Rest in Peace Mike.
A true gentleman and a great businessman.
Mike and I were high school classmates. While its been many years, he was a great guy and true friend. My thoughts and prayers to the family. May his memory be eternal.
RIP brother. Good man. Good teammate in high school. SJC ‘82
