I am very saddened to read of Mike's passing. My condolences to all his family & friends. "Sully" was one of the most respected & well-liked drivers in the City of Boston. Loved by his passengers & fellow drivers alike. He was a ray of sunshine on many demanding & dismal nights. I always will look upon our many meetings and chat sessions with fondness. We met frequently at Congress & State Street while waiting for our Goodwin Procter regulars at Exchange Place. Vera signed the vouchers. God bless Mike, his family & friends always & forever. I share in your sadness. He will always be with us in our hearts & minds. "Richie" ITOA Cab #526
