My condolences to your family. Mike was my neighbor and friend. In the short time we knew each other, he had a friend in me. He will be greatly missed. So will Tracy
Thank you, Rochelle. If it wasn’t for you, it’s hard telling how long it may have been before we knew something had happened.
My condolences is for a great friend who was the best man in my second marriage. Mike you will forever be missed.
I have tried to hide my feelings but I miss my guy Mike. He taught me many things when he found me at Unique Auto like a bum. He took me in as his Black Son and taught me the game I use now. During his passing I remember his sister Katherine and Todd his brother Bob. And for the fake ones that dared to speak at his wake his attorney and John Cleek who stole from Mike may God not Bless your souls during your day of judgment. Love You Mike and the boys as well always in our hearts we miss you.
