Mike was a childhood friend and neighbor. I haven't seen him in years but have the fondest memories growing up. He was always the best player in whatever sport we played. He always won Johnny cross tackel. So saddened for the family's loss. I just heard about his passing. Otherwise I would have made visitation.

Dinky-- You have been on my mind nonstop since the moment we heard the news. I still can't believe this is true. I will cherish the memories we had over these last 4 years that I've known you and I want to thank you for raising your son into the wonderful man I call my husband. You will never be forgotten. May you watch over us and enjoy your reunion with your parents, brothers and especially baby Michael. I love you always.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Dink's passing. I had the pleasure one night of having a wonderful conversation with him. He was so excited and proud to be going to his sons wedding. He could do nothing but smile ear to ear has he told me of all the plans and accomplishments his son and his bride had for their future. Dink loved all his children and know that that love will follow you has you and your families grow. He is your gaurdian angle...Fly high Dink

So very sad to hear about Mikes passing. I remember playing Little League baseball with Mike back in Lowell. My father coached our team. I also remember his brother Darren, who was an assistant coach for my father before leaving for Vietnam. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends..... May he rest in peace!
