Dear Carolyn, Tim, Cindy, Dana and Justin,
I was so sorry to hear of Mike's passing.
It was 40 years ago but I can see Mike and Charlie walking down the street in Concord like it was yesterday. He was unforgettable. Mike had his own Unique style and his own way of doing things, never to be duplicated.
I'm glad I knew Mike.
The memories you have in your heart will live on. I'm thinking of all of you at this time.

Mike was one of a kind for sure. From the time I was knee high to a grasshopper, from West St neighborhood to South St he was like a big brother and protector. We had a great chat a few years ago on the phone. He will always be a legend. So very sorry to all of the family.

My condolences to all that new Mike. He was a good and reliable friend to me. Mike assisted me out of some very rocky times in my life. I will always be grateful for his kindness and generosity. We shared the hobby of working out at gyms and the sunshine. On my wedding day Mike was not feeling well but he was determined to be part of Kent and my celebration no matter what and he was! It was sad to see him one time when he had visited NH from Fl. many years ago in a wheelchair strolling down the street headed to a friend's home. He declined a ride from me and went on his way. Mike was a tough soul and had the zest for life. His friends were very important to him and he treated them accordingly. I had dog sat Max and Joe one time, two of his furry best buddies that meant the world to Mike. I pray that Mike has peace now. Mike will be missed by many but not forgotten. Blessings to all.

To Carolyn and Tim- Sad news today. You have my deepest sympathy on your loss of Mike. He always greeted me with a wonderful smile and even offered to help me one Saturday when he was just driving by my building and he stopped to help me strip the old paint and carry the heavy wooden front doors for which I was forever grateful-what a good guy! Sincere affection to you and the family. Sue

I am sorry for your loss, Carolyn, Cindy. I remember Mike playing with my older 2 daughters when we lived next door to you on Perley St, when Frank was working with Herbie for the State. It is hard to realize Mike is 71 ... it was a long time ago!
