I worked with Mikey for several years at Apple in West Haven. He was the nicest guy with the biggest heart. We'd get lunch on Thursdays from Sandy's. They'd have a soup & sandwich special.
He loved his children. I remember we had a baby shower for him when Patricia was pregnant with Olivia. He was such a a good sport. He even wore a tee shirt with "baby on board" through the whole event. He was a great Dad, Husband & Friend. He will truly be missed
