Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time of great loss. May GOD comfort you in the days ahead. I remember all the years that Mr. Mike supported East Feliciana Little League. He and John Irwin Stewart coached our little league team and he also spent many years keeping all the game books at the old park and at the current park. The thing I will remember most is the way he handled illness and health complications for many years. I never heard him complain and he never lost his sense of humor and loved telling stories at Johnny's about he and his friends. He will be greatly missed by many.
