To my beloved brother. Life will not be the same without you here. I have no one to help me with my projects or to get advice from. Watching football or talking about current events will never be the same. Until we meet again, give Mom and Dad a hug for me as well as the rest of our family, friends and pets. You're going to be busy for a while. Love your brother Kevin❤

Mike (and Dave) and I go way back to 1966 when we joined up with the Boy Scouts. We were also classmates at St. Catherine of Alexandria, Class of 1969. We didn't hang out together, but we called each other friends. His Mom and Dad were wonderful people, and it was indeed a wonderful Family. I'll see him "upstairs", IF they let me in! He's a cinch, though!

Mike will be missed. A great brother and friend to Marilyn and the family. I remember what a great cook he was, and even for all the holidays. God bless him!
