Mrs. Fitzpatrick, Nancy, Noelle, Maureen, Michael, and Billy...it saddens me to hear of Mike's passing; he was an All-American Icon to me. He touched the hearts and lives of many people throughout his travels and endeavors. I distinctly remember seeing him run down the public beach path as I climbed the stairs one summer afternoon, covered in black mill scale, carrying his lunchbox and excitedly asked "Are my kids on the beach?" He loved you all very much; he will be missed.
