I just wanted to say that Mike was a great person and a great friend. He would do anything to help you and

Dear Eileen and Family,
I am sorry for your loss, Mike and I went back along way, from the time
we were young boys on Beach 113th St
in Rockaway Beach to working together in TPF. He was always well liked and respected by his peers. Mike was a good friend.

Eileen and girls;
God give you strength in this time of loss. I will always remember our times at St. Columba School and Church when all our children were small and growing up together and you and Mike and Charlie and I attended all their church and school functions. Keep those memories to help you through this time.
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
Most sincerely, Charlie, Michele, Isabel and Patrick Haller

Micheal and I spent many good hours together in the 44 Squad-he taught me how to be a good Detective. I will miss him, his smile, his "quiet" voice and his guiding way.
