I remember fun times in the late 60's and very early 70's playing baseball in the field up behind Beanie's house with the guys from around the neighborhood and shooting basketball at the Bolyard house as well. However, the more spirited and competitive games that Mike and the rest of us played was at Dave Claudio's house nearby. His father Harry owned the store close by and we would always enjoy a cold drink and a snack after playing ball. Seems all we did all day long in the summer was play baseball and mostly basketball. Those were great memories for me and my heart felt condolences go out to Mike's family. Sincerely, Jeff Hartman
