So very sad to read of Mike's passing. My mother is Mary Heslin Ryan who loved Mike and Peggy dearly; she will be sad to hear this news as well. We loved to have Mike come to visit the house in North Cambridge, so nice and kind, with the world's firmest handshake...Thinking of you, Mary, and knowing that you cared for and about him so well. Love, Sheila Ryan Packard
