I began playing music with Mike in high school, and later in the 80s played along side him in Southwind. Even though we lost touch after that I remember his gentle spirit, his wit, his talent, and his abiding friendship. I mourn this loss with his family and many friends. He is now at rest. ❤️
One of the neatest guys I went to school with. You were always polite kind to me. You were a great musician. Enjoyed the Cream Cheese Funeral. You guys were great. I truly enjoyed knowing you. Rest in Peace.
Think of you and the few times we talked in school. You were sweet and thoughtful. God bless you and your family. Wanda Robertson.
