Mike was my first cousin. His dad John, was my fathers older brother, and was my Godfather. My dad came to California when I was Two and I only got to see Mike a few times in my life. We had a rappore as adults and cared for each other. I am sad to hear of his death.
I want to thank the people of Radio America for your very kind words about Mike. I am glad he had some Peace and Happyness in his last years. Thank all who supported him and gave him friendship. He has left too soon.
Peace and Love to us who are here.
I can't say Thanks enough.

To Mike, you were a true gem. I never did get a chance to hear your music but I can only imagine that it was beautiful as your spirit. You had an incredible love and appreciation for music and sports. May you look down on all of your co-workers/family at Radio America for we are dedicating all of our sales to you, my friend. God Bless, LeNora Brown
