I too was in the class of 1965 with Mike and was also saddened to hear of his death. I met his nephew Jake Bottis while subbing and used to ask about Mike. We had some experiences back in the day. Jerry Jeffrey, Dudley, MA

Dear Paul, Donna & Family,
I was saddened today reading of Mike's death. We were in the same class, 1965, at South High. I grew-up on Hope Ave., and he would be at Bev's house, so we would all walk to the hamburger place at the end of Hope Ave., or walk through Hadwen Park to the Main South Friendly's together. He was a great kid, and well liked by all. These were the days my friends...please know that you are being thought of with sympathy and love.
