Mike --He was a good guy, a great guy. The kind of person you would want to call friend.
I was fortunate enough to be one of those people. Mike and I spoke on the phone almost weekly for the past 9 to 10 years. As such, we became quite close - I was even able to drive up to his house and stay with him for a week about a year ago. Good times.
I will miss him terribly, but to know he is with the love of his life again makes the pain of his loss a little more tolerable. God Bless Buddy!
Goodbye my friend.

Very sad to hear that Mike had passed away. He was a nice and handsome guy in school, and always smiling. My condolences to his family, and friends, I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't really know him well, but wish I had. Bless his heart, he is now with his lovely wife who got to heaven before him, he missed her so much. I would like to believe they have had a sweet reunion, no more sorrow, no more tears. R.I.P.
