Dee, Connie, Mark and Sarah, You have my deepest sympathy. My heart breaks for all you. I have a million wonderful memories with Mike and some pretty hysterical stories, that go along with those memories. Last time I saw him was at Cactus Jack's, we sat at the bar reminiscing and cracking up for hours. I now treasure that night. RIP my friend. Love always, Coll xo

Oh, Mike...You were one of the exceptional among "exceptionals". So sorry to hear this, but knowing you, you are having one heck of a time wherever you are! Keep smiling. See you soon.

Mike was a charter member of our group of about 25 guys who golfed for a weekend every summer in VT.
He was always one of the friendliest and giving members of the group and will be remembered in eternity at Okemo Country Club for his hole in one that is memorialized on a plaque at the course. Condolences to the family from our crew as he will be sorely missed when we get together again. RIP Big Guy.

Dear Goumas family, I like so many others are saddened to learn of Mike's passing. The last time I saw Mike was at the beach and we had a long conversation. I think back to when we first met and it was back to his freshman year at Memorial. A really solid guy who will be missed. My sympathy to his family.

Mike was a good friend and always smiling, an awesome guy. He will be missed by all and I will cherish the fun times and all the great laughs we had in high school. This old time photo was taken at the mall of New Hampshire 1978.
Mike was an all around great guy who was always smiling. I will cherish all the laughs and fun times we had in high school. He will be greatly missed by all. Rest In Peace.
