    To Becky and the two Claypool sons, I offer my deepest sympathies and condolences. I was born 8/31/1951. I came home from the hospital a couple days later to 55 Burdsall. Mike was a friend from that day on. He lived at 57 Burdsall and was my BFF in the 1950s into the 1960s. We reconnected when I moved back to Kentucky from Utah in 2022. No finer man have I ever known. He was a Fierce Tiger in the early 1960s, playing end in football. RIP Mike.
