My condolences to Gerry and the family. Everyone liked Mike and wanted to be around him and I was no exception. I traveled the world with Mike and you could not ask for a better travel companion or a better friend. Mike would always have you back. He had such a wonderful personality and was a true friend. I will miss him.

Mike is my brother in law but truly always felt like a brother.I met Mike in 1991 when I started dating Dawn's sister Kim and from day one we always hit it off.He was always witty and could make me laugh.If you ever needed help Mike was there for you house problems car troubles it didn't matter he was a phone call away.The godfather to my oldest and I am to his youngest for family was always most important to him.Mike even when sick this year he made a point to come to my daughter's high school playoff run in softball and it meant a lot to me that he came.I will love and miss him forever there will never be anyone else like him.May he forever rest in peace.
