Mike was kind to all living things. You never knew what he and Donna might have in the back of their truck. He once rescued a wounded snapping turtle and convinced me to help him release it into the CT river. Now that was an adventure! Mike was a gift. He enriched my life. I will treasure his memory. Heartfelt condolences to his sister Nancy, his aunts, uncles, cousins and nieces and nephews.

Rest in peace
