My sincere condolences. I went to Redemptorist and we had a few classes together. He always had nice things to say and asked about the family. He was a great guy. I really enjoyed Mike as a friend. His company and many conversations we had over the past years I´ll always remember. Very soft spoken and intelligent, are ways I would best describe him. I´ll miss our having lunches together.
God Bless you, brother.

Mike and his brothers and sisters grew up with my three children. There were two houses between our homes. We parents were young together. It is with a heart filled with sorrow we hear of Mike´s passing. Our love to Pete, Susie and Brad and other family members
