Mike and I were in kindergarten at St. Peter's together, then all the way through until Prep graduation. We were in the parish altar boys from age seven which was the center of our social and athletic activities until high school.

Countless hours were spent in the schoolyard which we all walked through going to lunch at Prep and where the photo was taken. You'll recognize Mike, second from the left, in one of those boisterous and joyous moments of our youth.

Mike was smart, kindhearted and even tempered. You could not find a better friend. I'm deeply saddened at his passing.
