Our family is truly saddened by Michael's passing. Our sincere condolences to his famiy. I will always have fond memories of trips to Norma and Buck's house and us kids getting to go to Wrigley and be 'bleacher bums' for a dollar. After Hurricane Harvey hit us in Houston Mike called and said he wanted to come and volunteer to help demo homes of our officers who had been flooded. He was a huge help to several of our officers during his stay with us. His upbeat and caring attitude was a blessing and appreciated by many. We will always be thankful for being blessed with the time we had with Mike and will keep him in our hearts forever. Mark S.
