Mike and I worked together at Nantucket in Chapel Hill. He was such a wonderful guy, a good apple to the core. Always loved making everyone feel included, and a true team player.
I found out yesterday through an email...and here I am sitting in the Festspielhaus wishing I could be at home for just one day. I thought it might be a good way to honor him by writing a little tribute.
Mike really loved film, and was a huge movie buff. There was rarely one that he missed in the theatres...his all-time favorite was Casablanca. He and I were basketball buddies, there were several occasions where we would pick up food from the Q-shack or Cook Out and settle at one of our apartments to watch the Tar Heels kick some butt. My best memories of Mike definitley involved delicious fried food and Tar Heel victory.
Mike was also a deeply religious young man. I hope his soul finds rest where it may.
How many lives will be lost before people realize how dangerous driving under the influence is? There is always an alternative to getting behind the wheel when you aren't in a condition to operate it. Always. It is a tragedy to have lost such a wonderful young man at such a young age.
It was an honor to have him as a part of my life, and he has only enriched it for the better.
