RIP Mike, [Pinky] What a shock to wake up and see this in the paper. It was surly a pleasure to be able to call you my friend as we shared a lot of good times together and raised a lot of hell. High School and BOCES in Argyle were a lot of fun. We lived on the same road, and I was always welcome at your house. I remember your dad and mom along with most of your siblings. Kingsbury has definitely lost a good man. You RIP good buddy, and we will meet again on the other side. Prayers for Mikes family are headed their way.
