Mike,
I can still see your jean jacket you wore while hangin out with the boys at the Platts or Foxies.
You were the one guy I could talk with about things on another level.
Tell you the truth, I was jealous you got to study architecture! Of course, I could never have had the focus and drive you had.
You were a solid great young man.
Hopefully your nieces and nephews got a chance to know you.
See you again my friend and Ill build your design in heaven!

Funny, after four years in the same high school class, I never really knew Mike until we wound up together at the University of Detroit School of Architecture. Mike was extremely talented and well liked at U of D. I had heard that he became a registered architect after hitting some bumps along the road, and so, I admired his tenacity. I would have congratulated him on achieving this professional milestone which he certainly deserved, given his talent. Mike, say "Hi" to Ruth for me up there.

Parcheta family,
I am saddened to hear about the death of another member of the Prep family. The memories of those times Mike will take with him. I too have been battling cancer for 5 years now. It seems like only yesterday...all we had to worry about was getting thrown in JUG.

I am very sad to hear of Mike's passing. He was a member of my first class teaching English at the Prep and I remember him very fondly. He was a delightful young man and I am sure a wonderful presence to his family. I am very sorry for your loss.
