I pray strength for the entire family. Michael and I grew up together and attended schools together. He was a very quiet person and always had a beautiful smile. He will be missed but know that he is at peace. Be blessed and always put God first.

To family, Michael was always a friend and easy to get along with. The best second baseman and a city champ. My first skip school was with Shank and Alfred, where we played jokes on each other and ate pork and beans. My last encounter was when I ate at his restaurant in St. Pete. Farwell my friend and God bless .
