Then
president
of
the
international
association
of
firefighters,
for
the
lack
of
attention
that
they
were
giving
to
states
like
north
carolina
and
other
southern
states.
He
didn't
care.
He
was
out
there
for
the
men
and
women
and
that's
what
he
did
all
the
time
behind
that
booming
intimidating
voice
was
a
kind
unselfish
person
who
cared
so
much
for
his
members.

I
know
mike
was
very
excited
for
the
new
adventure
of
returning
up
north
with
you.
He
was
very
excited
about
it.
Talk
about
it
all
the
time
since
it's
chillier
up
there,
you
might
need
some
warmer
clothes
and
we
want
you
to
have
this
local
job
shirt
and
when
you
wear
it,
hopefully
you'll
smile
and
think
of
mike
and
how
great
of
a
leader
he
was
it's
something
we
think
about
every
time.
His
name
is.
D
Well,
mike
was
a
good
athlete,
and
many
of
you
know
mike
had
big
hands
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
thought
was
great
about
mike
as
we
went
through
life.
Of
course,
we
we
stopped
playing
baseball
when
we
became
adults,
but
you
know
every
time
I'd
see
mike
at
my
house,
either
in
winston-salem
or
over
in
raleigh
mike,
and
I
would
usually
get
the
gloves
out
with
the
softball
and
throw
some
and
mike
was.
He
was
kind
of
a
a
a
trickster
in
a
manner
of
speaking.
D
He
sought
ways
to
improve
things,
to
have
impact
on
things,
and
I
remember,
as
a
boy
scout,
we
went
to
a
big
jamboree,
a
major
jamboree.
There
had
been
50
boy
scout
troops
there
and
they
had
a
massive
capture,
the
flag
tournament
going
and
we're
discussing
how
we're
going
to
succeed
against
some
of
these
older
guys
and
25
members
per
team,
and
so
the
50
of
us.
D
We
picked
the
fastest
25
or
who
wanted
to
be
on
this
capture,
the
flag
team
and
mike
thought
about
it,
and
he
said
I've
got
a
way
that
we
are
going
to
win
and
he
did
he
developed
a
strategy
that
around
the
jail.
I
don't
know
how
many
of
you
are
familiar
with
capture
the
flag,
but
around
the
jail,
which
was
just
marked
with
a
chalk
ring.
D
We
set
up
a
massive
amount
of
thorny
bushes
and
sharp
sticks.
So
if
you
were
going
to
be
sprung
from
that
jail,
somebody
was
going
to
pay
a
high
scratch
price
getting
that
done
so
anyway.
So
we
prevailed.
We
we
kicked
booty
on
everybody
because
we
out
manpowered
everybody.
We
came
up
against
and
that's
kind
of
how
mike
pursued
everything
in
life
was.
How
do
we
win?
How
do
we
out
manpower
people?
D
Well,
excuse
me,
as
we
grew
a
little
older
into
the
high
school
years,
you
know
mike
wasn't
chasing
girls
and
drinking
beer
mike
was
working
hard
saving
his
money
mountain
tires
and
repairing
flats
at
firestone
and
after
high
school.
We
kind
of
all
drifted
and
went
our
separate
ways
mike
ended
up
joining
the
air
force
and
missing
my
dear
friend
one
time
I
called
him
up
and
said:
hey
mike,
I
want
to
come
down
and
visit.
You
at
andrews
air
force
base
series
come
on
down.
D
D
I
realized
that
he
had
met
a
lot
of
his
life
just
the
way
that
they
interacted
it
was.
It
was
obvious.
You
know
my
family,
the
one
thing
about
mike
as
a
young
guy.
How
many
teenagers
ask
adults
any
questions?
Well,
mike,
would
ask
everybody
questions.
He
wanted
to
know
what
was
important
to
you.
He
knew
how
to
interact,
how
to
engage
people.
That's
why
he
was
successful
great
example.
My
mom,
he
asked
my
mom
what
her
hobbies
are.
D
What
teenager
does
that
and
she
said
well,
I
like
this
and
this
and
I
like
to
find
wild
mushrooms
and
cook
them.
He
said
I
love
mushrooms.
She
said
wait
till
you
see
what
I
got
for
you
and
she
went
to
the
fridge
and
got
out
some
morels,
which
are
a
northern
wild
species
and
cooked
them
up
and
whenever
she
saw
mike
coming,
she
was
getting
out
some
sort
of
mushroom
or
another
to
cook
it
up
for
the
boy
because
he
loved
the
mushrooms.
D
Likewise,
my
dad
absolutely
adored
nicely
nicely
knew
that
my
dad
was
a
sports
fan
and
that
you
know
so
knives
was
a
big
sports
sports
fan
too,
and
so
he'd
see
the
old
man
and
they'd
sit
down
and
he'd.
You
know
commensurate
on
the
tigers
or
the
red
wings
or
whatever
you
know
was
of
interest
right
then,
and
but
mike
was
also
a
guy
who
asked
my
dad
happened
to
be
a
world-class
diagnostician
and
so
mike
sitting
with
a
physician
says
so
dr
roop
what'd
you
run
into
this
week.
D
That
was
interesting
and
I
I'm
listening
to
this.
My
dad
says
well
gee
mike.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I
saw
my
first
case
of
polyarteritis
no
dosa
and
related
arterities
this
week
and,
and
mike
said,
I
never
heard
of
that.
He
said
I
know,
let
me
explain
it
to
you,
so
he
did,
but
my
parents
and
whole
family
just
adored
mike
and
one
of
the
reasons.
Why
was
he
engaged
everybody
tried
to
find
out
what
made
you
tick
showed
interest
in
you.
He
was
a
living
example
of.
D
If
you
want
to
have
friends,
you
got
to
be
a
friend
and
thank
god
for
my
friend
mike
knisley.
I
won't
told
jane
I'd,
keep
these
remarks
short,
and
I
will
I'd
like
to
conclude
by
leading
all
of
us
in
a
six-word
cheer
for
our
friend
and
the
cheer
goes
as
soon
as
I
say.
It
then
I'd
like
all
of
us
to
robustly
repeat
it,
and
it
is
thank
you,
lord,
for
mike
neisley.

Okay,
at
this
time,
we're
gonna
take
a
five
to
ten
minute
recess,
so
we
can
turn
the
room.
I
encourage
you
to
step
outside.
Take
your
masks
off.
Relax,
maybe
get
out
of
your
uniform,
maybe
change
into
something
a
little
bit
more
comfortable
and
then
we'll
come
back
in
and
we'll
we'll
share
stories
about
how
great
mike
knisley
was
and
we'll
laugh
and
we'll
celebrate
his
life.
Thank
you.
