Words cannot express my deep sympathy on the tragic passing of family friend and neighbor Michael (Smitty). I will remember the good
times on Talbot and the Alliance football game when he broke one of the greatest 70 yard runs I've ever seen
Bob and the rest of the Family my

My heart goes out to the Prince family, Michael and I graduated together. I never perceived him to
be a person to fear, every time I saw him he would speak, or make me laugh, I will miss his presence, but his spirit will still be around us as a Guardian Angel to protect his family and friends and keep us out of harm way, Keep the faith, he's where he belongs. God
will keep you strong at this senseless time in your life/
