So sorry to hear of Mike’s passing! Mike was a true gentleman and a good man! I only really got to know Mike since the mid 90’s at Birchwood Farms when I retired up here but Mike and I had gone to the same school and lived in the same area in Detroit many years ago. Mike was a couple of years older than me but we were close enough in age to know some of the same people in the area and at school. Always enjoyed playing golf with Mike and remembering some of the good old days and people in the old neighborhood!
My sincere condolences to Sandy and the rest of the family! May he Rest In Peace!
