Mike and I were friends at William Byrd High School while he attended there, and he was one of my best friends during that time. He often gave me rides home from school and to and from work. We talked on the phone a lot, talking about our favorite songs, tv shows, school, our jobs, vacations, and life in general. When I would spend the night with a girlfriend up the street from Mick or Mack in Vinton where he worked, we would walk down to the store to see him. The cashiers in there were always jealous that we were friends. HAHA He was always there to lend an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on. He wrote the most treasured letter I've ever had in my poem book from school. What a great guy and true friend. We may have lost touch over the years, but I thought of him often and warmly. He will forever and truly be missed, and eternally remembered.
