Mike served in the U.S. Army, was a veteran of the Vietnam War and was a victim of the Agent Orange chemical in battle areas. He was also wounded in Vietnam and received a Purple Heart. His family remains extremely proud of his service to our nation and his personal sacrifice.

Aunt Marilyn, I’m going to miss Uncle Mike so much. It will always be Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Mike. You are one to me. He always made me feel special. He was always a sunny day to me. I wish I had never erased all of the accidental texts he butt dialed me one day when he had his phone in his back pocket as he was laying under the Corvette doing repairs. I love you and I’m always a phone call away. Love, Alicia
