Mike and I were teammates on the Firestone High Swim Team 1970-72.
I went Akron (GA 1060) but did not know he was Lambda Chi Alpha at Georgetown. Always smiling, always positive. Great memories.
So sorry for your loss.

Very sorry to hear of your loss. While I only met Michael a few times when I had Jeff in my class, he impressed me as a very loving and caring father.

Mike and I made a couple of trips to Florida for Spring Break. He was quite a character and we always had good times. He and I were both Lambda Chis from different Universities. Me from Akron U and he from Georgetown (Kentucky I think?) Great guy.
