Our thoughts are with you during this time. My husband grew up across the street from you (Kevin Howard). He was a great neighbor and such a friendly and sweet man. Our condolences. May he Rest In Peace and walk with the Lord.

My heart is you and your family. The world has lost a little more color with the passing of this humble. loving and righteous man. He was a true believer of his faith and his fellow man. Only those who have lost a parent can truly understand the pain that is caused by their absence , I'm taking comfort in knowing that all that knew him, loved and respected his diligent but non judgemental ways will be surely reunited with him. Michael, you have been the center of a huge circle of friends since we were young and I know that he was proud of you... Just as your friends are. My heart goes out to your mom and your sister as well. My love and sympathy, Tocco
