Nearby is a picture of Mike with friends at last month's Northern High Class of 1974 luncheon at Blue Note Grill.

Mike was the former owner of several bars and restaurants in North and South Carolina, including Charlie’s Pub and Grill on 9th Street in Durham. In his younger years, Mike was a great athlete until being slowed down by 4 knee surgeries but still managed to play college basketball at St. Andrews. He was a graduate of Appalachian State University.
