Mike did the right thing by his son, Ross. He talked to him about school and work. He ended his remarks with the best words a son can hear. I am proud of you !
My dad was a hard worker but his health along with mental health got the best of him. He was a great father! I love you and miss you daddy!
Hi Tiffanie,
Have not seen you in maybe 15 years or more. I like your dad very much
I worked with Mike at Keystone Cash Register. He took me under his wing between 2004-2005. I really looked up to him and got many good lessons from him. He and Brenda even attended my wedding. I think of Mike often and some of his amazing stories. He was a pretty tough dude in his younger years! I’m sorry for your loss Brenda and family. I also apologize for the late response to his passing. Mike, may you rest in power my friend!
