Jess & Kimberly
I just picked up the paper tonight Oct. 8th and was so sad when I saw Mike's obituary. I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I will never forget the time he came to my house on Merrill St. and asked if I could fix Kimberly's hair her way to school because Jess was away on a business trip and he didn't know what he was doing. I have so many wonderful memories of him when his daughter and mine went to school together. He was one of the kindest and warmest people I know. Once again Jess and Kimberly I want to offer my sincerest sympathy's . I will keep you in my prayer's

Although it's been many, many years since I last saw Mike, his family (including his Mom, Toni, aunts Mary and Angie, uncle Kelly, and brother Chris) was a big part of my life growing up. Lots of fun times together when we were all kids. My deepest condolences to his whole family.... I'm sure there is a "Big" hole in all of your hearts.

It was ages and ages ago when Mike, Jess and Baby Kimberly lived upstairs on Harford Rd., but the memories will never fade, Mike producing the laughter, Jess shaking her head, and especially that one special evening when Mike was bouncing Kimberly up and down and she spit up all her milk in her father's mouth! My deepest condolences go out to Jess and Kimberly.

To Mike's Family,
I am shocked to hear of Mike's passing. He was one of the best people I have ever known. Always had a smile and a laugh for everyone he met. May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you from those lives Mike has touched.
