Mike was my first boyfriend in high school. (My nickname was Hunter back then.) He was kind, funny, smart and a wonderful person. He used to tell his mom that I was a model. Lol. I ran into him in the Summer of 1993 on Main Street in Hyannis. That was the last time I saw him. We went out for lunch at that Indian restaurant. I'll never forget my first love. I miss him so much. Love you Hospital Boy.

I only met Michael this past year, but his humor, spirit, intelligence, and enormous love for his son all left a lasting impression. He was one of those people you just don't forget. He will live on in our memories. My condolences and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Oh, Mike. I am so sorry to see you go at such a young age. I met you when I was a teenager while visiting Beth on the Cape. You were such a charmer! You could probably charm a leprechaun right out of his gold, and he'd be glad to give it to you. I'm sorry I was so shy when the three of us shared that apartment in Tucson. You always seemed larger than life, almost like a mysterious movie star. You had this glow about you, I don't know how else to put it. I think it was one of the things that attracted people to you, like a porch light, you drew in all sorts of flying creatures. I will miss you. And I will miss the part of Beth that went with you, but I know you are rightfully and completely loved and adored up there, wherever you are. And I'm glad for that.

Mickey & Family
Our memories of you are of when you were a little boy and watching you grow to a young man. We still remember the Inch Worm, the Big Wheel, the two wheeler, the match box cars, your guitar as you serandaded us with your songs, the sleepovers, the vacations we shared with you. To us you will always be that little boy wanting to play and do fun things. Now you are on a new journey, learning new things and seeing new places with our Lord. Until we meet again. Love Norma & Robbie

During this sad time of loss, our heartfelt prayers and thoughts go out to Mickey's immediate family; extended family, friends, coworkers, and those he bonded with through the years.

what a loss for everyone in Mike's world!! My sympathies go out to his family and his friends. I hadn't seen Mike in many years and then shortly after I came back to the Cape in March, I saw him. I got to say hi briefly and get a hug from the one and only Tup! I have always thought of him as one of the best people I knew. He will be greatly missed.

Mike you were one of my best friends for more than 20 years. From the Cape to AZ and back again (twice over!) and all the times and places in between... you're one of the biggest, most vibrant threads in the tapestry of my life. And I miss you more than words can say. The last time we spoke I know I said this, but it bears repeating - I love you too. And, I'm holding you to your promise! xoxo

Dear Mickey,
I miss you. I want you to know that we all will embrace Leander and share with him memories of you and explain to him how much you loved him.
I wish that I could go back in time and make the space between us smaller, but I do cherish when I saw you on Christmas, and communicating with you via MySpace over the past several months.
It's still really hard to imagine you not here, and that I won't see you again, until it is my time, but when it is my time, all of those that have passed that we love will be reunited and we will share eternity together.
Infinite love,
Your little sister Sandy
