I was the last one to see my brother Mike alive. He came over to watch the Daytona 500 races with me, and then he spent the night. He had a wonderful time. The next day I had to work and I didnt expect them to still be there when I returned home. But he and his friend and cleaned my apartment up, and it was spotless! They stayed for dinner and then we watched the three stooges and Mike and his friend were laughing so hard that they could hardly catch their breath! I dont think that I have ever seen Mike so happy. Mike was the type of guy that would give you the shirt off his back. Mike will be missed dearly but we know that he is in a better place. His little brother

I used to tell friends you were the watchdog on Rushton Rd. You always had a smile and you were full of love.

I will miss you Mike. I was hoping to see you this year but so often things don't go as we plan. I will always remember growing up at Grandma's and seeing you. We had some good times together. I have a deep sorrow in my heart because you are not here.

My Brother & My friend, Mike never met a stranger. To know him was to love him. He tilted the world with his laughter. No one loved life more.
He intoduced me to the love of life as a child. An then to the ove of my life as a woman.
He is greatly missed. He is with Charity and at peace now. He will be remembered with love & laughter forever.

I remeber Mike bringing Charity over to play so many years ago. He always made sure she had a bag of candy to share with me and my sisters. I have many memories of Mike visiting my dad. Now my dad will have a buddy in heaven, someone to hang out with like old times. I was shocked by the news and my thoughts are with the entire family.
