ReplyDear Debbie,
I am so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. I have so many fond memories of him while growing up, he was another one of those guys that was always looking out for “Seib’s little sister” and as frustrated as I was back in the day, I truly appreciate it now. Such a great person and always smiling, Mike will be hugely missed by all. RIP Mike and my deepest and sincere sympathy to the Raban family.
