Mike, was a friend back in our adolescent years. Played a lot of baseball in the apple orchard! Brother Steve was a good friend of mine. And, Barbara, I remember you as well. My condolences to everyone and may Mike rest in peace. So sorry.

Big Mike, he was a close friend in grade school at St Cecelia's...reading this is sad, but it brought back some memorable laughs of schoolyard antics that upset many of the nuns of the Holy Ghost...climbing and jumping off massive mountains of snow the plows built up. Condolences to Steve and your family.
