michael not only touched the lives of so many people , he also had a big heart for his cats n his dogs ~. Lewie n Michael had such love for each other , there are so many stories n moments where he was so proud of him
It was the highlight of Lewies day ~ when he would be waiting for his dad to come home and oh my when he heard that truck coming he would cry like a little birdie.
But the best was him taking lewie driving.
Lewie loved driving (lol) hanging out the window and just having their " fightn biten time.
Watching lewie get so excited n happy wjen mike came home was so precious to see
and i´m grateful i got to see the unconditional love they both had for each other !
my breaks for lewie , as he still waits every night for him to come home .
Thavk you for letting me share misea

Rest in peace, Mike, you will be missed. You will never be forgotten, you're a great guy at the track. You're a great guy on the job. Never had a problem with you always smile. Always talk great about people you will surely be missed. Buddy, it's a shame, another one taken young. Do me a favor while you're there. Say hi to my cousin, Donnie. You and him are having a good time up there until we meet again, peace out. Billy turcotte
