My condolences to Michael's family. It's been many years since I've seen Michael but I had the pleasure of playing music with him for several years. Not only was he a terrific musician/singer, he was an even better person. I have nothing but great memories from the time we spent together. Rest in peace Michael.

Michael was a scrappy, funny cousin! Haven’t seen you in years, but I remember you when we were young! My family, the “city” cousins loved to go visit your family, the “country” cousins! RIP, Michael! May you be welcomed & honored on your next journey!

My condolences to Michael’s family and friends on his too early passing. I worked with Michael at Mercyhurst some 30 years ago. He was always generous with his time, very hard working and quick to help out others. Other than being highly knowledgeable about horticulture, he had an artistic eye for landscape beautification. Although I haven’t seen Michael in years and years, the memory he made on me is all good.
