So sorry to hear of the passing of Mike. I dealt with Mike alot as a installer for the Home Depot. We quickly became friends. Mike was always a ready ear to listen and help with the problems of installs. I am really glad our paths in life crossed. I will pray for strength for the family to get through the loss of a good man.
