Mike and my older brother Rick were the best of friends through out high school. Mike spent a lot of time at our house and was like another older brother to my younger brother Jeff and I. Though we had lost touch over the years he remains in many of my childhood memories. He was a great guy and an awesome “other brother”. My thoughts go out to his family.
