We were fortunate to have Mike, Nancy and their family as neighbors for more years then I can count. Mike was always a gracious host and fun to be around (he definitely had the most energy on the volleyball court). We miss those times and will always hold fond memories. It was always obvious how much Mike’s family meant to him. Life is too short, so glad we were able to be part of Mike’s. Love to Nancy and family. ❤️
