Although we have not been in touch in some years, I have fond memories of Mike from the 20s & 30s group we were both part of at St. Columba's. His memory lives on in the kindness, generosity and compassion that he showed toward others. May God's comfort be with all those whose lives he touched and may you be at peace, Mike.
