I have not seen Mikey since high school, but he was always a great guy. We were little league teammates on the Detroit Tigers and we both played second base. We had a class together in high school. Weather it was a error in the baseball game or a botched homework assignment on my behalf, Mikey would always make the situation better. You will be missed by all, Mikey.

Its been a while since I have seen Mikey, but me and him were on the same Tigers little league baseball team & had a class together in high school. Me and him were the two second basemen and he would always be positive and help me through games as he was my superior elder. He was always a great guy. He will be missed by all.

Mikey was one of the kindest people I have ever met. Some of my favorite memories were with him, he knew how to make sure everyone was happy and having a good time. I will miss him so much.

Mikey was someone with a great deal of character and integrity.

Mikey and I were friends in high school and one way we've kept in touch is by playing in the same fantasy football league every year.

It seems a little silly now but when our group of friends started the league, there was a lot of disagreements about who was trustworthy enough to be "commissioner" and run the league. Several people offered to do the job but Mikey was the only person that everyone agreed was honest and trustworthy enough to be in charge. I'm going to miss talking football with him. He was a great guy and I know he's in a better place.
