My condolences to Michael's family. As I was only a 'bit player' in Michael's life, (and a Parkway customer), having grown up on Buffalo's West Side, I spent, whenever time allowed at the shop, Talking to Mike about people, places and things, in the 50's and 60's when I was growing up around the Grant Street area. He probably knew about 95% of the people I asked him about. He filled in the 'blanks' on many of my questions I had. He was always nice and encouraging to me. I was thinking about about him this week and I was sad to find that he passed away. RIP Mike... Your were nice and very amusing. I always enjoyed chatting with you
