I'm so very sorry to hear about Mickey's passing. Recall many great summer days playing ball in the Blake Street lot with Mick and all the boys. He was a great guy then and always. Very sad news. My sincere sympathies.

Dear Sharon,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Michael as a warm person. He welcomed me 25 years ago when I came to America and made me feel like I belong. What a gentleman.
