Mike was a friend of mine since 1963. It didn’t matter what I did or how I acted, he was understanding, loyal, and forgiving. And I to him. I was constantly critical of him for how he took care of himself, and he totally ignored me. What he did do, is remain my friend. I will never forget him and how me and all of the other people he knew continued to love him because because everyone felt loved by him. RIP old friend, will watch football with you again soon.
