I did not know Mike personally, I’d occasionally run into him at Midwest Fresh out in South Dakota. He always gave a smile and a wave. Your final 10-7 sir, we’ve got it from here. My condolences to the family

Mike will be missed. We at 3 Sisters enjoyed visiting with Mike when he stopped. He was like family to us. What a great man. He talked a lot about his family which he loved especially those grand babies!!! Rest in Peace Mike.
