So sorry for your family’s loss of such a great guy. We always had a good time when in Mike’s company. I pray for all his loved ones to feel the peace that Mike has now. Hugs and prayers Charlotte
Truly a Class Act, a gentleman who was great to work with and a pleasure to know. So proud of his family. Although it will be impossible for me to attend the service this Sunday (Sept 26) he will be added to our family and friends Mass in Derendafderg County Mayo, Ireland, host by daughter Kelly Nadile Becker…of course my prayers and condolences to his beautiful family. God Bless my pal!
