Thinking of you dear Mike, and your grieving family. As kids and young adults, I very much enjoyed hanging out with you on your visits to see Renee and Jimmy and the rest of us in the old CTP neighborhood. I'm sorry we lost touch. You and your family are in my prayers.

My fondest memories of Mike is all us cousins hanging out at the summer house. I will miss him greatly! The comfort we can have is that we know this life is only temporary as Jesus say's " I go to prepare a place for you", and to be in HIS precense is the fullness of joy.
I miss you Aunt Fran and I send you all my love. Ann Marie Dauplaise Heinly

Mike, you were a kind and very caring friend. I was always touched that you would always ask about what was going on with my kids over the years and how you would always remember, no matter how much time had gone by. I hope that you are at peace, you will be missed.

Mike, I'm going to miss you my friend...we've been friends for over thirty years and even though our lives went in different directions we've managed to stay friends and keep in touch...I tried calling you a couple of weeks ago since it had been a little while since we last spoke...you didn't answer your phone and I was worried about you....did you leave us then? You've always been a true friend...I'll miss you and our talks...I'm sorry you weren't feeling well enough to come to my B-day celebration in March...love you my friend.
