To me, I always happiest when Mike was out with Martin Tubbs and I ( Richard "Scotty" Lazariuk ), he just had a away of making us all feel better about life and this man could make me laugh for days...
There is a saying that you meet the Best friends of your life in the Military there were many friends but only a few were the caliber of Michael, and that was Martin Tubbs, and Michael Schwenk.
I did not have any idea he was sick at all.... he was selfless that way, he did not want anyone to worry about him..
The Funeral was Beautiful and I loved the music, ( just his style ) You all have my Condolences from my family to yours, I will never forget him....
Semper Fidelis Mike, see you one day...Laz
