Today is Thursday October 15th. Three day's till my 77th birthday October 18th...This passed year I've lost a lot of good friends.. Wakes and Funerals, I also realize I'm at that age where people you know pass on.. I get flashbacks of Mike and me ..Going to breakfast on Sunday mornings and stopping by the Fea Market on the Blvd in New Haven...Mike would pick-up a dozen eggs for Rita..This went on for many years ..When Rita passed away we all lost a lot she was way to young to go...That's life I've been told time and time again. Like a broken record. I have a very close friend I've know for 64 year's met in the 6th grade.. He just buried his son who was just 52! To young to die. I feel his heartache ..We are told never to question God!.. We sometime curse and blame God for things we just don't have control of. This is just a old man who just has a hard time saying good bye to his friends! Anyway my thoughts of Mike are still with me along with the many friends I've lost over the years...Jimmy Ballard

Well it's now 3 year's since my good friend Mike passed away.. I don't know what the odds of this happening But Mike passed away on my Birthday Oct 18th so I can never forget that.. Mike was a lot of laughs sometime always clowning around.. I had very good memories of him and I... Anything else he did was going to be God's decision and no one else's! I think of him a lot and also my dear friend and his wife Rita..Now she was the sister I never had was always there to listen and not with just me everyone, that's the kind of woman she was and dear friend very loyal....

I'm so very sorry my friend for over 35 year's has passed away..Mike and I use to hang out together a few year's back we were always together. Mike and his late wife Rita who was like a sister to me. Both Mike and Rita helped me threw a very hard time in my life which I could never re-pay..
My Deepest sympathy goes out to the DiMaggio family..
Mike is in God's hand's how..Many he rest in peace.
