I'm so sorry for the loss of Mike. He was a good friend. He loved his mom so much and he was such a good man that will forever be missed. My love and prayers are with the family.

As another cousin said to me yesterday Mike is among the first of our generation of cousins and family to leave us far too soon. Mike and I were not close as adult men as geographies and interests diverged. Yet I have precise, uplifting and fond memories of him as a young boy and teenager. The ice cream truck on Jewett street, cartoons in the den at Babcia's, the 7 Dwarfs at the Lowell Drive In, splashing around at Cobbetts Pond or cousin Tadeusz backyard pool, avoiding Dziadziu's glare when we misbehaved (especially when the 7 or 8 boy cousins assembled for family get-togethers at 139). We know that Mike loved his Mom, my Ciocia, to whom I say you raised a Good man. And to Mike we bid a fond farewell. Cous Rich & Louise.
