"Mike was a force to be reckoned with & it didn't take long w/him to figure that out. He had a charisma that drew people in. A persuasive manor that turned people's minds around. Not one to shy away from a confrontation, a negotiator with the tenacity of a Pit Bull! And a heart as big as Texas. What showed most is the compassion which he held for the people around him. The level of care was sincere. I may not get to hug or shake his hand again, but I'll keep a bit of his spirit wherever I go. I need a little pit bull in my life every now & again."
In loving memory of
Michael Victor Nevin
