I am so very sorry to see the passing of Mike. I was very close friends with his sister Carmen when we moved to Manchester in 4th grade. I am very saddened to see the passing of her and also their brother Joe. I was at their house every weekend when they lived in Manchester helping Carmen so we could ride the horses. Their family welcomed me as their own family member. Then they moved and I was deeply saddened. I tried to stay in touch but it got harder as the years went on. I remember when Mike was on The Big Chuck and Hoolihan Show. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time.

I was so sorry to hear about your passing and even more sorry that I could not attend......when I think of you....I remember us as teens......you were working at the corner store called Ensingers.....I was helping a local Greenhouse and we both worked auctions for Mr and Mrs. Carlson. I remember how you would ask how fast I could type.....which was dismal as best.....you typed off the charts......you pretty much beat me at everything......even running items people bought at the auctions.....but then again...who could keep up with those long legs?.......I have had the pleasure of enjoying the friendship of many of your siblings and was so happy to hear that you married, had a nice career you enjoyed and had a nice family......You worked with many of my friends at the hospital......I was so sorry to hear of your illness and its name.....Its a cruel one.....but then again, God made you pretty tough........I am sending your family best wishes as they go thru this hard time of adjustment. They miss you so much.........I am sorry for your passing but am happy you are singing for the Lord now........
