I will miss Mike’s great smile and enthusiasm for life!  He was a good friend and helped me get through my Finance class when we were in school together at Concordia and St. Mary’s.  We have remained friends since 1986!  Mike has a good heart and will be missed very much!  My heart is broken knowing that we will not have our annual birthday lunches.  I will miss his friendly calls to schedule those lunches and our wonderful visits catching up on our families.  Rest in peace my dear friend!
