I met Mike in 1969. We became instant friends and went through school together and remained friends. Mike was always a happy, cheerful, carefree, positive guy who was always open to try something new and he would go anywhere and have fun getting there. I really can't say enough for this good man. He was always was a loyal friend and I will always remember him.
