The absence of Mike, husband and father, is a great loss, but we are not like those with no hope. His assurance of Salvation is a joy as we know he is healed and in the presence of his Lord and Savior.

I didn't get to work with Mike for very long but whenever I did he was the kindest and most helpful person. Even when he was so busy with everything going on, he was quick to give you a smile or say hello. He will be missed. Sending my condolences.

Mike and I used to joke around about him working for a competitor before he came to Vanguard Fire. It was all in good fun. He will be missed. My thoughts are with his family.
