This is a family favorite, easy to do with kids, and quick!
Next to Girl Scout cookies (thin mints and samoas!), Mike loved chocolate, no-bakes, holiday traditions, and family.
He was an ally for social injustice, equity rights, and adopted a local squirrel outside his home - it would come inside to visit regularly, wander around, eat nuts he'd leave out for it, and wander away to return later.
Mike understood life, a good life, is about relationship and choice. We hope this dedication encourages us all to be more like Mike.
