Dear Folks. I found out about Mike too late to attend services. As you know, we grew up together and were in a very tight, small circle of friends. There are a thousand moments I can recall which include Mike and the experiences we had together going way back to grade school at Glen Warden. The Scotia pits, SPAC, high school, Sacandaga lk, camping, fishing parties and just hanging out for years together. Later, we went our seperate ways, but the fondness you have for an old friend like Mike never dies. I count myself lucky that I saw Dan last year at Stewarts near my house in Malta and I asked him for Mikes number. I called Mike. He was happily surprised and we chatted for nearly an hour. He seemed so content with his work, carpentry projects around the house and his family. Earlier this year I was again happy to hear that Scott, Chris and others from the old gang got to share super bowl with Mike at his home. Finally, as I have had to in my personal life, you can never move on from those who are literally part of you, but you must CARRY on. Mike was strong and he would want you to be, too. Sure Gonna miss him. God Bless you guys, Your Friends, Doug & Eddie roc Malta NY
