Mike was an incredible brother. At just 16, he lost our mother and took on the responsibility of caring for me, his 13 year old sister, while our dad worked long hours . He let me tag along with his friends to the Dunes and ski trips. I even worked with him at Ponderosa. He always made me feel included and protected.

He shared a very special bond with Judy, who has special needs. She was like his own child, bringing him joy. He filled her visits with her favorite things and made every holiday warm and memorable for us all.

Mike was a truly loving brother, and we will miss him dearly.
