I am so shocked & saddened at the loss of Mike. I knew Mike, Pete and his family well in high school. His dad & my dad worked together on a daily basis. Mike always had a spark in his eye & a little salt in his talk. I had not seen him since HS, but it sure sounds like he was a hell of man. God rest you Mike.
