    Please accept my heartfelt sympathies during this time – I feel so bad for you. I didn’t know Mike, but as a Daktronics employee I know he was here on Friday and picked up a load from us. Please know that all who work here in the Transportation Unit were stunned to hear of his passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
