I WAS SADDENED TO HEAR OF MIKE'S PASSING. I ALWAYS REGARDED HIM TO BE A FRIEND AND A MENTOR. HE WAS ALWAYS WILLING TO LISTEN AND GIVE ADVICE WHEN CALLED UPON. HE WAS A VETERAN'S VETERAN, AND PROUD OF HIS SERVICE TO HIS COUNTRY. I AM SORRY THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTEND HIS SERVICES. I WANT TO OFFER HIS FAMILY MY SINCEREST CONDOLENCES AND SYMPATHIES. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.
