I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I was lucky enough to have met Michael at my nephew's wedding in Florida. My son and I also had lunch with Mike, Pat and Jack at the International Mall. Knowing Mike for that short time, had kept him in my memory forever as he was such a fun sweet person. At the wedding all the little girls had a mad crush on Mike and he ended up getting kisses from all of them, including me. He will be missed. My heart goes out to his family and friends at this time and in the days ahead. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I have known Chris and Mike since the late 80's. Mike, with his red Trans Am and Chris with his green Honda.Mike knew everyone and he was a in your face straight shooter and Chris was more subdued. Life is not always fair but, I know he is in a better place now. I hope they have nice gyms up there. I am so sorry for your loss. Good-bye is always so hard.Rest in peace.

Dear Pat, Tim, Chris,Patrick and Ann,
Michael was always about joy. His beautiful smile will never fade nor will his enthusiasm. Never did he just "do" something... He plunged into it and rode the waves that he created. His boyhood followed him into manhood. His boyish charm was hard to resist. We will miss Michael very much.
He will always be in our prayers. We will love him forever.
Love Peggy and Joe
