My God, I just learned of Sky's passing-I expected to see him back playing golf this year. For close to 50 years we would greet each other and conclude with "...always a pleasure!"and it always was-I'll miss you Mike.

i was shocked and saddened to see that Sky had passed. I will always cherish my memories of growing up with the "Quincy Boys" You never had to guess what Sky was thinking or wait to hear his opinion. I went with him to many a Bruin's game, even in Montreal. When we left the Forum, there wasn't a single Canadian fan who didn't know exactly how Sky felt about our Northern friends.
However, despite an occasional gruff exterior, he could never hide his true side in which kindness and compassion would resonate.

Mike was a good friend of mine growing up in Montclair. I'm very sorry for your loss.
My Deepest Sympathy,

It was an honor to work with Mike. He always brought his little grin to work. He was a compassionate Cop who could always calm situations down. The people liked him because he was one of them. Rest in Peace, Mike.
