It is with great sadness that I learned of Mike's passing. He was my friend and I will miss him dearly. This is Mike's tribute wall and I want to pay my tribute to him. He was kind hearted and loving. He often called me "Ritchie" with a little flare added. His sense of humour will be sorely missed. I built a beautiful deck around a Canadian Maple. Mike, Ron and Mark were visiting me before it was completed but Mike said this is fit for a King and he eloquently called it my Kingdom. The Kingdom will always live on and so will my friend Mike.....in my heart. He pulled for me and my customers more than a few times and I soon found out what "Mike's Time" was all about lol. He had to borrow my ECM for his N14 a few times and he always put it back on my truck, "greased the pins" and the receptacle. I TRUSTED my friend Mike he had ethics and morals not too common anymore. We can all say that Mike passed away "Happy" and I was happy for him. He once told me he loved hauling livestock because livestock didn't talk back to him lol. I know one thing for sure that livestock were safe in his care. I will be forever grateful to have had Mike Halpin in my life and it makes me sad to think I won't have anymore time with him. Pam, Samantha, Kate, family and all those that loved Mike I am so sorry for our loss. I hope the loving memories that we have will help to lessen the sorrow we feel. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Mike you will be forever remembered by me. Rest in peace my friend. We will meet again
