To Sandy, Joe, and the Family - My sympathy and prayers to you on Mike's passing. I really got to know Mike when we did our time on the Plymouth School Board and I appreciate the many things I learned from him about public service. I will really miss running into him and talking to him on Main Street in Shiloh.
