I was Mike’s Legal Secretary from 2004-2014. He was like a brother to me and my three kids. He was always there for me and my kids. Treated me and my family like I was a part of his family. Still shocked to this day that he is gone. My kids and I loved him so much. My heart goes out to all of his family. Even though he is gone. He is still in my heart. 💕
rest in peace.
