I will never forget Mike and how nice he was to me when I was growing up. I often think back to those Sunday afternoons when he'd take us to sit in the bleachers at Fenway to watch the Sox and never complain when Lisa and I would sing and cheer like crazy.

This quote always makes me think of Mike..."One hundred years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, how big my house was, or what kind of car I drove. But the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child." Mike, you made a difference in my life, and I am sure many others as well. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
