Mike you will be missed. He was one of a kind with his sense of humor and personality. So many memories growing up as a kid. I was basically there every waking moment and the Petricks took me in as one of their own. His damn popcorn was like no others and his turn around jump shot according to him was too! Lol. Prayers and thoughts to the Petrick family. You guys were always like my 2nd family. Miss and love you guys.
