I was fixed up with Mike a looooong time ago (1999ish?), and I'm proud to have introduced him to Old St Pat's concert choirs which led him to Too Hot To Handel. Mike joined the choir on that amazingly memorable first trip to Ireland in 2000(?). He will always be an incredibly sweet (especially to my mom!) warm gentleman to me. Rest, my friend, you gave so many of us sweet memories. Your life is a blessed memory to so many.

I first met Mike 31 years ago when I worked for Humana. We discovered we were both born on 9/12 and had daughters who loved riding horses. A wonderful friendship started after that and we had many fun visits in Chicago and Louisville, he would always call on our birthday and if I wasn´t home, he and my husband would catch up in a long conversation!
God Blessings to Margaret and Mike´s family.

My deep sympathies to Maggie and family. I met you once when you were an infant. Your dad was a great friend at Mt. St. Mary's in the Glee Club. I hoped to see him at the reunion in October, but I suspect he was ill. He will be sorely missed.

I am so sorry to learn of Mike´s passing. He and I dated when we were freshman at MSM and Saint Joseph College. He had the distinction of being the only guy I dated that my parents actually really liked! And my 98 year old Mom still remembers him.

I visited him in Chicago a few years ago and he hadn´t changed one iota. We went together to several choir practices/rehearsals and I saw how much he loved the joy of singing with a couple great groups. He had a great sense of humor, a broad smile, and infectious laughter. He will be deeply missed. My condolences and prayers to his family and friends everywhere.

My thoughts and prayers to the family. I had the fortunate privilege of meeting Mike while singing with the Too Hot Chicago Choir. In 2017 he rode with me to and from rehearsal, where I got to learn so much about him in our conversations. He will surely be missed by all. Thank you for sharing him with us.
