Sorry to hear about your brother Laura

RIP Mike . You were one of my great friends and one, No not one positively the Best all around athletes I have ever known and played with in my lifetime! I will miss you my friend. Say hi to your dad for me!

RIP, Mike. Proud to have been a teammate of yours. Nobody worked harder than Mike. He made everyone better. Condolences to you Lara. God bless. AMDG. Mike Soeder '72

I remember going to Forest Hill Swim Club with Mike once. He was my secret weapon on the basketball court out back as nobody there knew who he was. We didn't give up the court until we were ready to leave for the day. Tho I did leave his beloved Wayfarers on a picnic bench there so we had to make a u-turn before we made our way back to Euclid Hts. Blvd. Sending condolences and a big hug, Laura.

I did some business with Mike about 25 or 30 years ago...had lunch a few times and of course discussed basketball as I coached that at ST. Ann for many years. And I am still involved in the parish as an usher with my son. Met Mike through mutual friends at St. Ignatius and JCU...he was nice guy. Just sort of lost track on how he was doing. Laura--sorry for your loss. Jim Cogan

Early memories... teaching me poker, shooting pool, disco dancing and cheering at so many basketball games. Rest in peace brother Mike. An invitation for those who knew him to please share any memories and stories. It is so appreciated and means more than you can imagine. Thanks...

Played many games with and against Mike , most at Kenilworth . He could have led the country in scoring at Canisus but the coach wouldn't let him . Mike Used to practice with an oversized ball , made him a great shooter . I'll miss him , a really nice guy .
