Mike, my good friend since kindergarten, you will be sorely missed. It is very rare and special to maintain such an ongoing friendship over 30+ years. We had some great times and shared some great memories.
It's only been a few days and it's already so strange to reach for my phone and not see a message (or 20) from you. I wish there had been some warning signs or something more I could have done but at least you are at peace now. We'll never have a chance to settle all of our ongoing wagers but I'll be sure to have a Slows Triple Threat for you! ;) Thanks for all the memories and you will never be forgotten.
My sincerest condolences to Mr. and Mrs. McHugh, Sara and family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
