I’ve known Mike since we were kids. We grew up in the same neighborhood, went to same school and hung out together a lot. Then we got jobs at Mobil Oil and even rode to work together for a couple of years and then worked on the same unit. He was a great guy and a good friend. He will be dearly missed.
Mike was a great guy to work with, everybody loved him!
