Mike & family,

Back in highschool, when you were nice enough to give me a ride to D'Youville every week, we stopped at where your Dad worked and he took us to lunch at a Greek restaurant on Allen St. I'll never forget what a wonderful man he was and how much I enjoyed sharing that lunch. I would like to send my condolences to you and your family for what I am sure is a terrible loss. My deepest sympathy and best wishes, Antoinette Levan Grote
