Mike Mondor Dec 30, 2009: Sadly we say goodbye to longtime SRDL shooter and former team captain Mike Mondor. If you've ever been to Referees, you probably know Mike... He lost his battle with stomach cancer last night. Visiting hours are planned for Tuesday morning at Cote's in Saco, with a service at noon... I can only picture Mike being greeted on the other side by his son Joshua, with a smile, a handshake, and a hug - that was his comfort in knowing the end was near...
