It wast honor to know Mike and his charm. When he moved to the neighbor I knew we’d be great friends. You will be missed friend.
Such a great friend. He was so nice to me and my boys. We had some good times at the pool and out on his boat! You will be missed!!
I enjoyed the friendship I had with Mike. We spent quite a bit of time talking about spiritual concepts, real estate development and dreams of what could be in life. I know he longed for a better understanding of God. He kept me laughing. And he was genuine in his kindness and generosity. I am gladdened to have met him and be able to call him friend.
