I never had the pleasure of meeting Mike Sr., but from what I have heard, he sounded like a guy you would want to have as a friend.
My most sincere condolences to Jane, his loving wife, and his precious children, Emily, Michael Jr, Brian, and Kevin.
May he rest in peace.

Jane, Emily, Michael, Brian, and Kevin, I was saddened to read about the death of your husband and father. My prayers are with each of you as you make your way through this very difficult time. God Bless.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Mike was a great guy. I roomed next to Mike in the dorms at Kent State where we had some of the best times of our lives. Tappa Kegga frat, Togga parties, Kazzoo Band and many many more silly escapades that I will never forget. I think of those times often and can’t help but smile. Just a thought that has helped me in times of loss. “One lives forever in the hearts of those who remember”
