My sincere condolences to the Sweeney family. I remember fondly the family football games on Thanksgiving in the front yard and the games of "stretch" with the pocket knives on the side of the house in Dracut when we were kids - looking for salamanders and the "pet" yellow jacket nests in the back. Mick was the cool older cousin. Rest well bud- Ray Dame

Sincere condolences to Debbie and family. Despite the many health challenges Mike faced, he was always pleasant and greeted everyone with that great big smile. We will miss him.
