Awesome man, brother, husband, father and grandfather. We were neighbors on Sanderson Ave. in Dedham. for a very long time. My wife, Dianne's cousin. His DELAYED laugh was the best. I was a close friend of his wife Carol all through Jr. High, and High School. Went to Mike and Carol's wedding. The seating in homeroom for 6 years was always, "MacDonald, McCarthy and McGowan". See ya Mikey! Richie and Dianne (Ruggiero)
