I met Mike on a union job, probably twenty years ago, both of us being Local 825. 25 years my senior, he took me under his wing and has always been there for me, and through his kindness became a favored friend of my father, having a love for construction and old cars in common. The last time I saw Mike at the Boonton car show, he gave me something I will cherish for all my days. Thank you Mike-my friend and my brother. My condolences to the family, and especially you, Dorothy. I believe life is about memories, and I cherish every one with Mike. Always a kind word, a loving look, a true heart. world is not a better place without you, but your legacy carries on...
