I am deeply saddened by your loss. Mike took a chance on a business idea I had and together we created a win-win for our vending industry. Through the years we had many insightful conversations. From the stories he shared I know he was very proud of his family. I am honored to have been his friend and business associate, and I will always remember him for his belief in me and his part in our companyâ??s success. Barbara, all of us at CandyMachines.com extend our heartfelt sympathies to you and your family.
