I have know Mike for around 4 years. Sorry to hear about his loss.
Last year my Lowrance GPS antenna went bad so I called Mike from Clinton Lake to see if he knew of any place in Lawrence that would carry them, not wanting to drive to BPS to get a new one. Mike said he had an extra one in his garage and to meet him at the Marina in 15 minutes so he could put it on my pontoon for me. THANKS MIKE.
I met a guy in an old blue john boat, with a large front deck, while fishing the marina cove last year that told me about him and Mike planting hundreds of brush piles in Clinton off his old blue boat.
