My brother and I were very saddened to hear of Michael's death. His father, Thomas, was our cousin. We hadn't seen Michael for a couple of years but we thought he was a nice person and he will be missed by all his extended family in Newton

Dave & family;
I'm sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Although it's been many years since we've seen one another I still have a lot of good memories growing up with both of you guys in the Highlands, hanging out at the Morey school yard. My sincere condolence to all of the family.
God bless,
