Michael and I became friends while I was living in Boston and visiting Salem. We stayed in contact even after I moved. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts to his parents, family, and friends.

We had the privilege of meeting you both and Michael several times at functions because of knowing Maryann and Grace and were impressed with his friendly and warm interaction with us all. I have been praying for him and keeping up with his progress and am so sorry for your loss at such a young age. Warm condolences and love to you.

So sad to see such a wonderful young man leave us. Michael lit up the room when he was in it. His infectious smile and positive attitude were his greatest attributes. He was dearly loved by all of us and will be remembered for his courage and strength facing this awful disease. Rest in Peace, Michael. You are with the angels now.
