Mike and I went to church together when we were young. We use to do car washes and other fund raisers for the youth of our Sunday School class and his sister Becky was my friend too. Many years later his son Chris moved beside my house and the apple didn't fall too fat from the tree because Chris- as his dad was is a great guy. I'm sorry for the family's loss . I lost a frend.

I met Mike right after I retired from the military. We became fast friends. We played music together, had family gatherings, played volleyball and watched Tennessee football. He was a wonderful friend and loved his family with every fiber of his being. I can't wait to meet back up with him in heaven. Rest in peace my friend.
