Michael John Raccuia

My condolences to my sister and extended family.

So sad to hear of Mike's passing. We graduated from Hoban High together and were roommates during our freshmen year at Walsh College. Though I have not spoken with him in years we shared a lot of memories together many years ago. May he rest in peace and enjoy his eternal reward.

IT WAS QUITE DIFFERENT TO BE AN ITALIAN AMERICAN THEN THAN IT IS NOW. THESE ASPECTS OF GROWING UP IN NORTH HILL ARE...

Offering our deepest condolences during this time.
