Like Gloria, I knew Mike from 1st grade. He wasn't very big, but he was bigger than I was and always saw the good around himself. RIP, Mike. We'll see you soon.
Vince you are correct, Mike was never in the serevice, but Eric was. Mike was a very good friend to me. We spent quite a bit of time cruising the everglades. We were in contact for a bit before he passed. I have great memories of him.

I knew Michael since elementary school. He was always kind. He was also funny. He was not a big guy but he was a good athlete and competitor.
