Dear Rick and Karol, So sorry about Mike, We loved that kid and enjoyed watching him and Chris grow up you never knew what they were going to get into. Climbing on our roof and Bruce´s, also climbing our TV towere until John decided it was safer to take it down our John climbed it too when he forgot his key he would get in the upstairs window. Michael always had a smile on his face and a hug for me. We are so sorry for your loss and his wife and girls. Sending hugs to you all.

Mike was the best neighbor! He talked to all of us, and we all loved him. He was an awesome guy and he really cared about his family. He was a hard worker. My husband is pretty shy, but he really liked Mike and enjoyed talking to him. We will really miss him. Please pray for his wife and daughters. They are all really awesome too. Prayers to all his family and friends.
