Having moved away, I occasionally get on Secors website to read the obituaries. I am so shocked and saddened to see that Mike has passed. I was blessed to work with Mike and his dad during my years at MTD. During stressful times, Mike was always such a relief to see him coming with that same gentle smile and laugh. I wish I could’ve been more like him. One of the friendliest guys I’ve ever know. RIP Mike. I pray I’ll see you again.

All I know is that Mike was without a doubt one of GOD'S best creations! He and I attended a Doobie Brothers concert, back in the day at Blossom, and had a truly great time. That was just one of countless great times we had! He was just the best of the best, as many folks have posted! RIP Mike and thanks for being the friend that you were to so many of us! We'll see you again my friend and so thankful for that opportunity to do so!
