So sad to hear of your loss and more deeply saddened that I´m just learning of this now. Mike was my first ever friend that I can remember, growing up on Country Club Rd in Torrington, CT . It was a sad day for me the day he moved to MA and we really kept in touch, but he was always in my memory and always will be. My condolences to the whole family.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the tragic, very sad news. It has been many years since Mike and my son, Mark palled around at Union College. I remember Mike's smile, always happy, respectful, and a joy to be around. The world has lost a good man. I am SO sorry.....
