I had the privilege of knowing Mike not only as a fellow Duhawk, but as an attorney from his days at the CTA.

He was a good friend and a great attorney. My condolences and prayers are with him and his family

I was at Loras College with Mike "way back when..", he was a teriffic guy-lot's of fun-always a good friend that would be there for anyone that would need help with anything. My wife is having some surgery done Friday a.m. so regretably I won't be able to attend church and pay my respects to Mike and the family. I will keep Mike in my prayers and he will always be in my thoughts and heart. I know you will all miss him... and so will I./GARY
