Michael was a dear friend growing up in Dedham. I have many fond memories of our mischievous times together. He loved cars and doing performance upgrades to them. We spent many nights hanging out with our group of friends on the local street corner razzing each other and talking of what life had in store for us.
He is truly missed. Rest in peace Michael.
