Dear Aunt Barb and the Obid Family,
I've known my dad's best friend, Uncle Mike, all my life. He always brought a smile to my face and joy to my heart. I loved him and I'll sorely miss him. I guess God was in need of a good buddy and called him up. I pray He comforts you at your loss of Uncle Mike.

Barb, so sorry to hear about the passing of Michael. I still remember the two of you when you were dating (a million years ago) when we all hung out. His smiling face will be missed greatly.

My deepest sympathies to Michael's family. I first met Mike at Sto High school when we were Freshmen. My twin sister, Marlene and I became good friends with Mike and Chieffo and they were at our house in Kenmawr all the time. I will never forget the good times and the many laughs we shared.

My thoughts and prayers are with Barb and the entire family. Although I left Pgh years ago, I still remember Barb and Michael when they first met. They were so in love then, and it only got stronger with the years.
Love, Sandi

Barb,
I am so sorry to here of the passing of Mike. I know that we have been distant for sometime, but the friendship we had was great. It was great seeing both of you last month at the Flea Market. Keep in touch. I just learned of Mikes passing through my son Brian.
