Mike was a beloved friend of our family! I remember all the fun we had at get togethers between our two houses in west valley. The camping trips and shenanigans… I remember him telling me he would put me up against any mechanic cuz I learned to work on my own cars and if I ever had a question… he was my first call. Now he can create havoc up there with my dad too… gonna miss him!!
