I had the pleasure of meeting Mike about 8 years ago while he was working at A.R.Myers Glass. I am a window tinting subcontractor that was hired and we became friends. Mike would bring his personal vehicles to us to get tinted and i met his wife and son Dusty. We always teased each other, but the man knew alot about glass. I will miss him.
