The Sarasin Family
And Especially to Larry and Patti.
I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Things flash by your mind when you hear of such a loss. I remember going to Wilson Park Little League and watching "Little Mike" pitching in a game or playing football in the front yard on Bush St with Larry and Mike. Growing up he had the blondest hair. Mike left a lasting impression in my mind.
Again, I am so sorry for your loss.
Your old neighbor

Michael was a good friend and neighbor from 1986 when we moved in next door. I have many great memories of him playing catch with my son. And always offening to do yard work for us. He will be greatly missed . My heart goes out to his family.
