I am so sorry to hear about the loss of a "great" person. Mike was always very pleasant and also very kind to others. I went to school with him and also with Joan at Holy Saviour. Two good people who are now watching over us from heaven. I have happy memories of both of them. Mary Ann Schoen

So sorry for your loss. As life passes by we loose contact with people that touch your life only to find out too late that they were close by. Your family may not remember me but I remember Lenny, Curly, and the boys living next to my Mom Mom and Pop Pop on Chichester Avenue. My mom lived there too. They were Jim and Eunice Reynolds and Shirley Morris Miklus. I am Michael Miklus and stayed there a lot myself. I live in Delaware and I wish I knew Michael worked that close to me. As a child I always remember what great people your family was living there and what great neighbors your family was to my family. Thanks for the great memories as a child and God bless your family in these difficult times.
