My family grew up with the Scally family in Daly City. We were all shocked to hear the news about Mike passing so suddenly. We have fond memories of all the guys building and racing their hot rods in our neighborhood on Hillside in Daly City. Mike and my brother Robby and Pat were always hanging out together. Mike was a great young man, I wish we knew him as he matured into the wonderful man that we have been reading about. Our prayers go out to the Mike's family and friends.

Sincerely, Betty, Robby, Kathy and Lance Frick
