Tom Armstrong - Diana, I have been ponderin for 5 days for words to describe Mike still drawing a blank. Whether it was as a friend,foreman,sds, or sevicer when the chips were down and you were deep in the trenches Mike was always there shoulder to shoulder with you. I consider it a real honor to have spent 25 years of my life knowing him. Our familys thoughts and prayers are with you.
