Denise, I spent the summer of 1986 with Michael building a home on Jerusalem Road in Cohasset. What a funny, personable and hardworking guy he was! I am sorry for your loss. May he Rest In Peace. I haven't seen you since high school. I remember your father taking you, Christine Condon, Kevin Ouellete and I to a concert at the Boston Garden in 9th grade. What a good time. I've seen you on social media. You picked a great and spiritual place to live your life, Hawaii. I live in Needham with my wife and two children. We frequent Manomet every summer visiting my inlaws on Seaview Drive. I've thought of you and Mike often when we have driven past your old house on 3A. Take care!
