Mike was my room mate at WPI in the 1950's. I am very sad to hear of his passing.

I only knew Mike for a few years, but he made our Monday golf fun and always had the time to sit and talk. We'll miss him.

Uncle Mike you will be missed but remembered. I loved it when you came to Florida for months on end. It was lovely getting to know you again. Say hello to Grandpa, Gramma, Donny and Mao.
Love, Linda
