I met Michael in 1968 and we did just about everything imaginable together. There are memories galore. He once asked me to baptize his son but we never got around to it. I've been in Arizona for a while now and we haven't spoken for years. But that didn't matter. He was a true friend and every minute with him was a gift. May God be gracious to you my friend.
