I worked with Mike (Smack) at the Holiday Inn for a few years. We had some fun, he was a great singer on Talent nights with the band. God Bless

We were in the HA choir together way back when. Mike's voice was unique and one you could listen to all day. Still remember his singing the communion meditation at my father's funeral back in 1997. Funny guy, hard working, always ready to volunteer at HA when needed. Rest in peace Mike. Sing on in your new heavenly choir.
