"Gerry, Dawn and the rest of Mike's family...I apologize that I was unable to make it to his services, really wanted to be there. So many laughs back in the day at DVI/IVI, too many to count. Mike was always able to get everyone going, regardless of how much work we had to do. It's been a while since I have seen him but that doesn't mean he isn't remembered fondly. Hope you are all doing ok....Thinking of you all and keeping you in my prayers. Mark Drapeau"
