There is an old saying... Gone, but not forgotten! I cannot begin to express how appropriate this saying is to my friendship with Mike. I think of him often, mourning his early passing... Remembering his warm smile and infectious laugh. I had the good fortune to know the whole family and visit Congreve St. often. I frequently reflect on our shared experiences and miss my old friend. In my mind, his memory will be eternal. I hope the readers of my remembrance feel the same! God Rest you... No one is ever forgotten as long as they live in the memories of those they loved. RIP

I've known Mike so long that I cannot remember a time when I didn't know him. Maybe it was Roslindale High, Maybe it was Fallon Field, Maybe it was Dunkin' Donuts, or the Happy Hour.
But from the very beginning, it was an instant connection, a connection that has endured for more than 40 years.
Always with a smile on his face. Always with a joke. Always asking about how I was doing...never complaining about his own troubles.
Most vivid memory of Mike was his selflessness when my father passed away...
We had been out all that day. Took a ride down the Cape in the infamous Black Dodge Van. He kept reminding me how he had to be home at 5 to help his mother do something, and he wouldn't be around that night.
He dropped me off at home and drove off. I walked in the door to find my mother and Rose, our neighbor, crying on the sofa in the den. The hospital had just called, my father had had a massive heart attack and died. I needed to go to the hospital but was too upset to drive. I called his house, his mom answered. I told her what had happened. Maybe, ten minutes lapsed, he was at my door. He took me to the hospital...waited for me...literally spent the whole next 24 hours by my side, doing whatever I asked of him. His mom - God Rest Her - cooked for us for almost a week...and he never once complained, or said he had to go.
This is true friendship. Friendship that transcends time, distance, family & life complications, and age. This is who Mike was for me, and I know for others. Selfless, generous of his time, always a smile, forever friend.
Rest In Peace, my forever friend. May your memory be eternal...I know it will be for me.
