Mike and I shared a love of the Adirondacks, an appreciation of Harry Chapin and 1960’s Mustangs.
I remember playing football at around 10 years old with Mike, our friend Steve and Mike’s cousin Doug along with a couple of neighbor kids. Mike’s older brother Bobby would coach one team and then the other to help keep the score close.
We worked for the same tire store (different locations) for a period when Mike was in high school. Mike would still reminisce with me many years later about that job and the people we both knew.
I have known Mike for over 60 years, and although Mike achieved considerable success, he never forgot his roots and our shared history I’m so grateful for.

May his memory be a blessing
