Mike was my neighbor across the alley. He would wander into my garden for a neighborly chat. He and Flo kept the squirrels of the neighborhood well-fed with peanuts, which they would then plant in my garden. He was ready to help without my having to ask - he simply kept watch. Ive missed seeing Mike and am saddened to find this obituary. I will miss him deeply as I do Flo. I send my heartfelt condolences to Mikes family. Please feel welcome to call on me as his neighbor; I am ready to help as you work to transition his home.
