Mike was a neighbor and friend of mine when he lived on 7th street in Mishawaka many years ago. He was the best of people, always a smile and a nice person even when he was young. I am sure he will be sorely missed.

I remember Mike from the "Slammer" days. He was always so friendly and always there for the team. So very sorry for your loss, I know you will miss him greatly.

Sorry to hear of Mike's death. He was a good guy and fun co-worker years ago on the Mishawaka street department. He and I had many good times while on "road patrol" under the direction of Quinto Squadroni. I heard from someone some time back that when he first got sick, an old high school coach took it upon himself to step in and do what it took to support any unmet needs that inevitably cropped up (name: ___?). That coach had also characterized Mike as the "most natural athlete" he had ever coached.

Best wishes in the hereafter. --"Captain"

Very sad to hear of Mike's passing. He was a great guy who, in my recollection, was a friend to all. My condolences to the family.
