    We are so very sorry for the loss of Mike. Your families business has been a staple in our families for as long as I can remember. And I remember my dad always saying what good people you all were. I met Mike earlier this year and we talked for a few minutes. He was so kind and interested to hear what was going on in our family.

    Mike and I went to school together. He was slightly younger, but always enjoyed visiting with him. I just saw that he past. Sorry I missed the service. The best of luck to the entire family.
