I left this text on mike's phone. I don't know if anyone will look at mike's phone any time soon but I'd like mike's family to know how much mike will be missed by the people he worked with. I spent several years off and on welding with mike and i am devastated about what happened. my heart goes out to all the family, especially his parents. and my heart is breaking for his girls, he talked about them quite a bit. he loved them with all he had. mikey had quite the sense of humor, i often told him if he tried hard, english could be like a 1st language and I never did understand what he was saying when he texted me. God, i wish I had kept at least one of those texts. mikey made a difference in many lives and he'll be missed. with respect, richard espinoza.
