Some folks leave this place having lived sad, unremarkable lives. Not so with Mike, It stopped too soon, but from the start line to his finish line, Mike's life was"pedal to the metal". Well done, Mike. Say "Hey!" to "Nitro Sam' for us. He "cut a light" on you, leaving in April, but you can power him down with one of those MoPars of yours and "top end " him to the "Pearly Gate" finish line. Over and out..Tom "DRAGBEAT!

Always a smile on his face. Great bowler as well. He would get called out of the Pin-o-Rama when he needed to tow semi trucks on the thruway many years ago. He was a good friend to my father.
