Our most heartfelt condolences to Mike’s family. Mike was a hardworking man who loved his family immensely. We called him “Unc” at our motorcycle shop because he reminded us of Uncle Charlie on My Three Sons, a bit gruff on the outside but a teddy bear on the inside. Ashley, he was always so proud of you and your children~ there was never a day when he didn’t share a story about you all!! Unc, you were a wonderful man, and we will miss you.

Called my dad to tell him my bedroom heat wouldn’t work frustrated as hell. He showed up within an hour call as ever to figure it out, we concluded it was the thermostat and I needed a new one. I go to ask him where I should buy one and he pulls one out of his van, already did he said, always one step ahead of me 🙁 I am forever grateful for all you have taught me and done for us. Your simply irreplaceable!!
