To the O'Dare family, I'm sincerely sorry for your loss of Michael. I grew up on Tudor Street along with the O'Dare family. One of my favorite childhood memories is of the day that Michael and Chalie McGinley came home from the service. The entire block had prepared for their homecoming. My mother had made a welcome home sign on posterboard and attached it to our lawn with clothespins. What an exciting thrill it was to see Michael come up the street in his uniform with his big, happy smile on his cute face for everyone. I'll always remember Michael that way from that day. I'll keep you all in my prayers and again, I'm sincerely sorry for your loss.
