Knew Mike from my days in the 3rd and working in Mounted Patrol. Our paths crossed often and was always a pleasure to be in his company. You could always count on Mike to have your back. He was a great person and will be missed.

Michael, you were one stand up guy starting with our days at Northeast Catholic Class 1960. We would meet again in the early 1970´s, as members of Stakeout Unit. As we often stated, those years were the best in our Law Enforcement career. May you RIP Michael.
