I am very sorry to hear of your loss and regret that I am not able to be present to offer my personal condolences. It was my honor to have first met Mike when I served as an assistant football football coach at Chaminade High School. I readily discovered that not only was Mike an outstanding athlete but even a better young man. I was very pleased that he chose to attend the University of Dayton ( my alma mater) to further his education and athletic career. It also provided me the opportunity to watch him perform as a Flyer.
After all these years, he remains as one of the best young men that entered my life as a teacher, coach ,and administrator. So while it might have been several years that our paths might have crossed, he always had a big smile and a warm welcome. In my 45 years as an educator, I can proudly say that Mike was one those special people I recall with great fondness. May he rest in peace.
