    I didn’t know Mike very long but he helped me a lot with my business and he continued to give me advice that was extremely helpful.

    I never saw him in a bad mood and he always had a joke to say.

    Great man.

    When you’ve know a person since his early twenties as have I, you pretty much know the man and his family. Mike was always good natured, imaginative and full of proposals. He surrounded himself with activity from boating to playing in a band to Restaurant/Bars operator to Real Estate Investing. I have many memories of fun & exciting times and interesting propositions. But mostly I remember Mikes easy laugh and mischievous smile. I was sad to hear of his lose. My Condolences to Mike’s family of whom he was so very proud and spoke of constantly.
