I am sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He was always informative when talking about cars. He took care of my cars when he was at Jack Loftus Ford and at Bill Stillwell Buick. I will always keep him in my prayers. My son Danny will let them know at Willowbrook Ford of Mike's passing. I will miss Mike.
