It's so sad when you hear of a dad passing away so young, and you can remember him being at different events that our kids were in together like concerts or plays and /or sporting events. We first met back in Charlotte Avenue when my daughter, Jessica, and Matt were in Mrs. McWatters 1st grade class together. I most recently remember Mike being the pharmacist in Eden at Rite Aid and helping me all the time with my grandmother's pills! He was always so helpful and would explain as many times as we needed. Gram could not see clearly which made things difficult for her, but Mike was always there lending a hand and a smile. He will certainly be missed by all who knew him...both as a dad and pharmacist. My thoughts and prayers go out to his sons and family. May God's peace and comfort surround you all.
