I´m so sorry to have just learned of Mike´s passing. I worked for Mike at my first job out of WNEU in 1983! He was a great teacher and leader at Morris Alper. So enjoyed his lessons, laughs, and perspective toward issues where he kept an even keel. My well over due condolences to his family. PS I have been in the food business ever since that first job! It´s been very good to me and I have people like Mike to thank.

Susan and Family,
I am so saddened to hear of Mike's passing. I wish I could've made it to the services but my work schedule did not allow it. I have so many fond memories of Mike from growing up on Pinehurst Rd. He always made me feel special and spoke to me like a friend and not just some kid who lives down the street. I cherish the many conversations we had while he was detailing the truck, boat or camper. I still remember his bumper sticker "The Man with the Most Toys Wins..."...

Dear Susan and family, my deepest sympathies on the loss of your dear Michael. I was a high school classmate of Michael's; in fact, he escorted me to the Senior Prom when I was a sophmore at Precious Blood. His dad, Jean, and my Dad were best friends in the 40's, and I will never forgot what wonderful people the Drapeaus were. I remember Louise as well. Please know that I will pray for your consolation through this difficult time.
