So very sad to see that Mike has passed. Mike and I went to Sacred Heart School, that was on the corner of 38th and Abercorn St., back in the 50's. He was just as handsome then and his picture here. I feel so sorry for his family that he has been called home so soon. May he rest in peace. I am sure he will be missed by many,he was that kind of guy.
