Such a shock to learn of Mike’s passing. He was always a really pleasant person. I knew Mike for well over 50 years dating back to his pre high school days at Pleasant Plains where I was a teacher and principal. There was always a smile on his face. I never remember him having an unkind word to say about anyone, I will remember Mike and his entire family in my prayers and ask God to grant all the blessing of His Peace.
