That one-of-a-kind cell phone greeting right off of a Hallmark Card: "Yea, it's me". Made me laugh every time.

Our condolences to the entire Palina family. Mike was a great neighbor for the past 7 years that we have lived across the street. He was one of the best parts of living on our street. He always made it entertaining. Most importantly he was always willing to help out. He taught me a valuable lesson.."the squeaky wheel always gets the grease" and he always had a good story to tell. He was always kind to both of my sons and my wife. He did try to charge me $5 for parking in the pool parking lot every time it snowed. He loved to try to pull one over on this gullible Polish kid.
Mike, you'll definitely be missed. Thanks for all the great memories.
