KAREN: I am so sorry for your loss. I spent a lot of time with Michael (Butch) and his family growing up. He was a sweet quiet man. Aunt Olive, Uncle Tom and Tommy will welcome him with open arms.

I worked with Mike at Northeast Ford in the mid 90s. He was a great guy the type of person who always brought a smile to your face. Because of this I'm shure there are few who crossed paths with him in life will ever forget him . R.I.P buddy till we meet again.
