Faith and family, we are saddened to hear of Mike's passing. He meant the world to both Julia and Tara...Whenever Julia spoke of him-her face would just light up! He was such a wonderful grandfather to her-and for that we are thankful..He will truly be missed.

We lost touch after school, Mike, but you were a great guy. I can remember you in High School singing Tequila Sunrise, wearing your wire rim glasses and playing on your guitar. When you were in High School you had a very nice green MG two seater that you were really proud of and generally kept it running. Later on you came to my folks house in Stow - about 2007 - and helped my father who had fallen in a bathroom. I wish I had thanked you for that. I hope you had a good life.
