I am so saddened to hear of Mike's passing. Not only was He a friend, he was a mentor to me for many years in establishing my career. He had faith in me and my abilities long before I could see anything. He advised me through so many aspects of my life. I truly admired him for his uncanny ability to call things as he saw them. Once he pointed out to a city official that they were a chicken-xxxx! When we spoke of that in the years to come he always had that big grin and a twinkle in his eye. He was a true and sincere believer of the Lord and steadfast in carrying out his work. His passing is a deep loss to us all. I will forever be indented to him for all he shared with me.
