Tributes
"Mike and Rick were first to figure out a trip to the lake with their brothers really meant ?a trip out to ?Bumpa?s first to either mow his lawn or weed his garden!! It made his face light up when he came home and saw it all done!! Well worth it even if it cost me some soda n Ice cream! ????"
"I remember Mike n Rick were the ones who figured out a ?happy trip to the lake? meant first to Bumpa?s to either mow the lawn or weed the garden. Small price to make Bumba happy."
"When mike and his cousins were growing up they always wanted to be with Bumpa so they all had to learn how to do the Bumpa wink they got pretty good at it and I must say Mike got it perfect so my dear nephew you and Bumpa can do your winks together R.I.P"
"Despite the hardships and tough times, when I think of Mike, the only things I truly remember are his big smile and deep belly laughs when we were all sitting around "shooting the shit". This is what we chose to do with our time together the last several years. Laugh.
I'll never forget how much "Stewie" lit him up and made him laugh.
I'll always remember how much fight he had in him and how he never stopped trying to figure things out. He was so intelligent, yet so misunderstood.
Love you Mike. "
