Mike was one of the most easy going person I've had the pleasure of knowing. We grew up together riding the same bus. He never let me go without. If he had it I had. His smile was contagious. Just being in his presence was a treat. The last time I saw him in Marianna I cried, and he told me "Don't cry for me Jack. When you see me I want you to be happy". So I smiled. I never knew it would be the last time he'd see me smile. Sleep with the Angles my friend. We will meet again someday. I love you friend...
Remembering a friend, happy thoughts of you. Rest in eternal peace.
