I am so sorry to hear of Michael's untimely passing. I have so many wonderful memories of growing up next to the Cooley family on Lynnwood Drive.

I´ve known Mike for several decades. He regularly visited my office for brief chats, discussing sports, politics, local events, and his family. Always upbeat and positive, he never uttered a discouraging word about anyone. Mike made the world a better place, and he will be missed.

Michael was an irrepressible source of laughter and good will; never an unkind word was ever spoken. He was a Board member at Pathlight for many years and I was honored to know him, and his wonderful family, when I worked at Pathlight. He was a wise man who understood the most important thing in life-love of your fellow travelers. May your journey home be a joyful one!
