I am so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. I just stumbled across this while viewing another obituary. Kenny will be very sorry to hear of his passing as well. Mike was always full of life and laughter. We were in the same class in school from grade school on so there are a lot of memories. Kenny loves to tell stories about a trip down the Oregon Coast they took together one year and all the fun they had. This breaks my heart. I’m so sorry. Love to you all.
