Mike would like you to know that his work here is done. He received a call from our Mom and Dad it was time to join them in Heaven. His new mission would take him to a place where he will be able to sing, dance, enjoy a Coke and read his papers to his heart’s content. He would want us to embrace life and treasure our moments together while here on earth, until it was time to take our journey home to meet our maker again. Mike would like to send his heartfelt and loving thanks to his extended family and friends at the Homestead, Ruth Place, and the Driftwood Industries/Workshop.

Look out James Brown, move over I’m on my way, my microphone is ready because “I feel good, like I knew I would!”
