I spent the last 2 years playing ice hockey with Michael on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Michael and I developed a friendship and always looked forward to hanging out and catching up before going on the ice. He was a very kind man and always greeted me with a smile. I looked forward to seeing Michael and felt comfortable around him. I’m going to miss this man very much. I offer my condolences to the Finneran family and Michael’s loved ones.
