"Coach" had a very positive impact on my life when he coached and taught at Bishop Neumann. I still enjoy that influence to this day. We stayed friends over the years and he always inspired me and I looked up to him. He was a great guy and I will always appreciate his integrity and remember the great times with him. I will miss him alot! My thoughts and prayers are with "Coach Roach's" family.

Mike was a competitive shuffleboard player. He traveled to compete and was definitely an opponent to be reconed with. Mike was always there to teach the new players. God Bless his family and friends.
