To Michael’s family, I would just like to say how sorry I am to hear of his passing, and wish you all nothing but happiness during this time, and beyond. Michael went to school with my younger brother at Alvin School. Somehow I knew him also, and remember one time in particilar when I rode my bike to Peppertree Plaza to get something at Thrifty. I walked out of the store to discover my bike had been stolen. But then I saw Mike circling aroumd on his bicycle just outside the store. He must have been around 11 years old at the time. He told me he saw the kids who stole it and offered me his bike to go after themwhich I didand he told me not to worry about returning his bike, since he knew them, and knew I’d have my hands full getting my bike back. The mission was successful, but I wonder to this day if he and his bike were ever reunited. Thank you, Mike, for your unselfish generosity.
