We are greatly saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. We knew him through his mother, Dorothy, and will cherish times we had together. The last time we saw them was their visit with us in Florida, a year before Dorothy passed away. We had a great time. Mike was thrilled to see manatees dolphins, and an assortment of birds close up. Mike has stayed in contact with us and our appreciation and respect for Mike has grown. He was a good man, had a strong sense of loyalty to friends and was a man of principles. We will miss him.
