We went back all the way back to when we were 10-12 years old. Many memories such as your home was the place for all of us kids to congregate because your parents were the only ones in the neighborhood with a color TV. Rest in Peace Mike!

It was a sad Sunday for me because Mike and I talked the morning before he passed. This became daily ritual for Mike and I a month ago when I found out my wife of 42 years got a diagnosis on her 4 year battle with cancer that predicted she has only 9 months to live. As always, my "older brother" was there for me like he always has been for nearly 63 years. Mike and I have been inseparable since meeting during elementary school at Faust in Nottingham. I will miss him terribly. My heart goes out to his sister Irene who made the journey from 1st to 12th grade with me. Ride on you wacky Cossack. We'll meet again!

How very sad. My heart goes out to Mike's sister Irene (my dear friend throughout junior high and high school) and the rest of Mike's family. I will be thinking of Mike and offering my prayers. Please accept my sincere sympathy.

So sorry to hear of Mike's passing. He was a good old Nottingham boy. We had lots of time together through out our school days. During this "lockdown" I have been walking Nottingham for exercise and would pass the house Mike grew up in and thoght about him each day. Mike was one of the guys.
