My condolences go out to Mike’s family and his friends. Mike was a fun person to be around in school and could always make you laugh. He definitely liked his Red Sox’s and was the biggest “KISS” fan I ever met. I’m so lucky to have been part of the graduating Class of “81” and to have Mike as a class mate.
RIP Mike
* Go Red Sox’s *
