April 5, 2021 9:27 PMDear Rubich family,
My deepest sympathy to you all- for many years Mike was to Syl’s the same as Norm was to “Cheers”. We had many conversations (and a few arguments!) but please know how proud he was of all his kids and grandkids.
There are many people who would have had no sports photos of their kids at all if it wasn’t for Mike.
We will miss him too.
