I knew Michael back in the 70 `s . He was a very nice guy and would give you the shirt off his back. He was also very handsome all the women loved him . He would walk around in his high shoes and flirt with the women. Very nice guy. I´m very saddened by his loss. I pray his son Michael and the rest of the family all the prayers in the world. He was too young to go.

Michael was my neighbor and classmate growing up. I haven´t seen him in 40-45 years but I do remember playing with him, Bobby, and others when we were very young. He was a good kid who was kind and fair, and I will always remember him for those qualities. Rest easy Michael!
