16 Jan 2007 I am a friend of Mike's, we grew up in Berwyn, Illinois. It's been a long time since he was killed in Viet Nam ... I still miss him to this day. We rode to work together and met each morning in a coffee shop. I could always tell if he beat me there, because the song "When a man loves a woman" would be playing on the jukebox. We laughed and joked like friends do ... I will miss him until we meet again... If anyone can give me any information about his death, please contact me. From a friend, Jerry Dye lastredeagle@comcast.net "And they who for their country die Shall fill an honored grave, For glory lights the soldier's tomb, And beauty weeps the brave."
