I was saddened to see Mike

I was saddened to see Mike had passed . I used to walk around Helderberg Lake and I would pass him and Zoey with his hat and he would always smile and talk about how he loved living at the lake, although before that they had a house on Warner Lake. Condolences to the Baker family
