I graduated from St. Mary's High School in 1955 as a classmate of Mike's and considered him a dear, interesting and longtime friend with an amazing sense of humor. Our high school basketball hero, he led the way to many victories on the court and was always fun to be with at the CYC, our afterschool hangout. May his memory be held dear by all his family! -- Mary Elizabeth O'Connor
