To my old college buddy, rest in peace Mike. You won’t be forgotten by the Fenn Tower gang.
So sorry to hear about Mike. Praying for you at this time.
I met Mike at Cleveland State University where we minored in pinochle and compared stories of Lawsons vs Convenient Food Mart. Years of friendship included weddings, parties, music, and a memorable trip to the gun range. My thoughts go out to Annie and others as we mourn this good friend and good man.
One of the best. Gone too soon. May the love of God give you comfort; may the strength of God give you peace.
Annie, I took me a while to look at this. I can’t believe he’s gone. He was like a brother to me, and we walked a long time together, you Mike, and I. May he rest in peace. I really miss him. 😔
