Just heard about Mike’s passing, so sorry for your loss. I saw Mike daily for five years that I worked in retail, he was one-of-a-kind. Always excited to see me and greeted me with a smack on the back and a bone crushing handshake. We enjoyed shooting the **** about our day-to-day, especially during the summer when we’d swap stories about our exploits in OOB. So funny, and according to him, the world’s best dancer. I miss that guy.
