Puskar Was an Inspiration to W.Va.

On Friday, we said goodbye to a truly great West Virginian.

Mylan "Mike" Puskar died after a courageous battle with cancer. From humble beginnings as a drug salesmen in southern West Virginia, he went on to become an industry leader and the company he founded thrives because of the foundation he laid.

Mike was an inspiration - a man who was humble, kind and generous and did so much for a state he loved. We'll miss him, but his spirit will inspire us for years to come.
