Michael and I met when he was a bartender at Callahans in newton mass. He was a caring and loving person to all. My kids loved when he came over, and will cherish his kindness and ability to make anyone laugh. The world has lost a wonderful man. I'm sorry we didn't get to see each other again.

Michael was a wonderful guy and probably the worlds best bartender. Also a great friend. The last time he came to Waltham he called me and we spent an enjoyable afternoon together. I couldn't begin to tell all the memories we have of Michael.

Our sympathies go out to his family.
