Sorry to hear of Mike's passing.  We lived in the same neighborhood: He lived on Shawnee Road and I lived on Columbine Drive, just a street away but even closer via our back yards.  We often walked to the bus stop together and shared teenage wisdom every morning before the bus arrived.  When we were younger we spent hours target practicing with our "Red Rider" type BB guns.  The Good Ol Days!  I sincerely hope that his family remains strong sharing the many loving memories they must have.
