Lynn and Charlene,
I was just reminiscing about our MHS days while discussing our son's upcoming graduation party when Doc and so many others crossed my mind. Mike was a great guy always sporting that contagious grin of his and always ready for that next adventure. I'm so sorry for your loss.

My condolences to Lynn and family. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys. Mike was a lifelong friend and co-worker. We went through school together and graduated from MHS in 1981. Montville High we are! I also had the pleasure of working with Mike for 10 plus years at Mohegan Sun. It was like a school reunion when I saw Mike for the first time at Mohegan Sun. Mike will be deeply missed but never forgotten. May you be at peace now my friend.

I am so sorry to learn of Mike's passing. Its been many years since I had seen Michael, Ricky and Danny but the "3 Amigos" often come to mind and bring a smile to my face and heart. Those 3 could always make me laugh even when I may not have wanted to. I know I speak for Anita and Cheri when I say that our lives were much happier having known Mike and he will be remembered with a smile and an ache in our hearts. So deeply sorry for his family and friends, sending prayers for strength and comfort to you all.
