Kara and Family, Today, I learned of Michael's passing. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity of meeting him. I was a good friend of his father and I am so saddened by this news. I do know his dad is so happy to have him with him. My deepest condolences to the Roche Family.

I remember Michael from high school days, when he had his Barracuda car. On occasion he'd drop down to Falmouth Heights in the summer to visit. Never remember him ever being angry or upset - always happy and ready for some excitement. What a terrible loss for his family, and my heart and prayers go out to them all.
Rest easy, Peewee, you will be missed. Bob LaFrance

I remember Michael from back in our high school days, with his Barracuda car. Never saw the guy angry, always full of energy. What a terrible loss for everyone. My heart and prayers go out to his family. Rest easy buddy.

Michael had recently earned his pilot license and invited me up in the plane he shared with others. Imagine my surprise when he cut the engine and the plane dropped like a rock. His laughter was not a comfort. Just as he predicted, though, the plane restarted and off we went. I had not seen Michael in many years , but I will never forget his fearlessness and ability to find humor in any situation. Rest in peace , my friend. My prayers and condolences to his family. Sincerely , Frank O'Loughlin
