I lost a good friend a few hours ago. He was an irascible Philly tough guy with a soft heart that most never got to see. Went wherever Uncle asked him to go when he was younger and still able to jump. Was decorated multiple times for his actions under fire.

When his knees went away, he came home and built a business that provided for his family. He was rough around the edges and he didn't let many in close. He was a survivor-pure and simple.

Once, years ago when I had lost my career, he told me to come work with him-even though he knew I had zero skills in his trade. Of course I screwed up almost immediately. He looked at me and said to get over it, that the only perfect man was crucified years ago! I will carry that in my heart forever.

I didn't realize how much he meant to me. I was lucky to have known him for so many years. I salute you, Mike! You were a Hell of a man and the world is a little emptier with your passing.

RIP,you will be missed.
