My deepest sympathy to all of Mike’s family. I was first introduced to Mike at a car show a few years back. I remember that within the first minute of meeting him he made me feel like I had been a friend of his for years. Afterwards, when I would see Mike at other shows or the Whiskey he would greet me with that big smile of his, his hand out for a handshake, and, with a ‘Hey guy, how are you doing?’. Easy going, a pleasure to be around. You just knew he was a great guy, and, even better human being. Mike, I only wish I had met you early in life. You will be missed. Rest in Peace my friend.
