I've known Michael for about 30 years. And I am sorry to hear about his passing. All of his family and friends have my sympathy and I hope he is at peace with himself, RAP your friend Al.

I do not remember the first time I met Michael, yet I remember him as a constant presence during my senior year of high school. He was the constant jokester, cutting up in the best way possible and making people laugh.

We were not in the same social circles in school, yet I knew him to be a consistent student and a friend to sooooo many!

I was able to chat with him a few years ago, when he attended a family event a Faith Congregational Church in Hartford. I could see life's challenges within him, yet he still had that cool and easy demeanor. He didn't remember me from school, yet something was 'familiar.' he said.

In this life, we do the best we can, and that's just what Michael did. Rest easy, Mike; and may Mark and his family know God has him in his care.
