Mike will always be remembered for his smile, outgoing personality, and his friendliness. We went to school together and graduated together. Loved seeing him on his motorcycle doing the rides for the benefits. I will greatly miss him as others will too.
I remember Mike is being the expert skier I always wanted to be. I chased Mike for years at West Mountain ,Gore Mountain all over the Northeast he was a good guy straightforward guy and straight shooter I was sorry to hear mice passing I’m glad he loves his Harley
This is a shock to find out. I knew Mike in the early 80s when he was the light man for a band called UXB. He was a dear friend and married one of my best friends Beverly Williams.
Mike was a great person. He will be missed my many.
Heaven earned another badass human. Rest in peace friend
