    My thoughts and prayers are with all of Mikes friends and family at this very difficult time. I will miss our lunches together and my stops by Eagle to visit Mike. I am so fortunate to have been able to build a close friendship with Mike over the last several years. He was always so supportive and such a valuable friend. He will always be missed but never forgotten.
