I’m so sorry to learn of Mike’s passing. I remember him always with a smile and a twinkle in his eye. He and my dad, Milt Greenfield, were great buddies. Mike and Myrna were both friends and family. My children and my brother Alan and his wife Debbie offer condolences as well. Mike lived a rich long life. May his memory be for a blessing.

Mike was always such an outgoing, friendly, gregarious person. We send our condolences to the family – we haven’t seen you in many years, but our memories of your father (and mother) will always be special.
