"My deepest sympathy to all family. I knew Mike many years as I am a pharmacist here in Lafayette. He would stop by the pharmacy, either at Arth Drugs when it was in business and then at Arnett Clinic on Greenbush where I later worked. He was always a happy guy, and loved to eat donuts or anything we had in the pharmacy. He was genuine, fun-loving, and always took care of our pharmacy needs. He often spoke of his family and how proud he was. He also had many stories to share and never seemed in a hurry. He will be missed, but I will choose to remember the happy times. Mary Jo Withered "
