Very sorrowful to read about the passing of one of my dear childhood friends. Our paths were separated in the late 1960’s. Before that time, we spent a lot of time double dating and hanging out together. Mike introduced me to my wife on a blind date - I could borrow a car to go out dancing. I had just gotten out of Army boot camp for the National Guard and Mike’s car was in disrepair- again.
Mike’s mom Mary was like a second mother to me and Patty was like a little sister. Even though...
