I can tell you that Mike was a joy to work with at Linel. I know I was blessed to know and work with Mike. He was always caring, thoughtful, loyal and proud to work with at Linel. I know that at times he was struggling with his health but he was always uplifting and positive. I can tell you that he was inspiring to us and such a great example. If we could all be thoughtful, caring and uplifting like Mike. Be like Mike. Jeff Burgardt
