To Paula (Michael's Sister), so sorry for your loss. Michael as I remember him was a perfect role model, really nice guy, a gentleman, I remember him as someone that was always on the right path compared to most everyone else back in the day. We were all in envy of "Mikey", he had it all going and he proved it all the way.

Jean, Paul and the Weir family, words can't express the sadness felt from Mike's passing. He was a great husband, father, grandfather, brother, teammate and most of all great friend. I had the pleasure to play basketball and baseball with Mike at DHS and lots of golf and he was a competitor. I am thankful to call him my friend and will miss him dearly. Rest in Peace, Mike.
