"I just heard the sad news Of Mike?s passing. Mike was truly a great guy who loved coaching basketball. He was beloved by his players and fellow staff. I have such fond memories of Mike growing up as we shared the same driveway. Condolences to Maryanne, Joe & Maryellen & family?"
"Mike, I thank you for all you did for me as my assistant coach at Bishop McDevitt HS. You were a loyal and hard working assistant coach. I know the players loved you. I told Jimmy Fenerty 25 years ago that he was getting a gem with you. I am so glad GA became your home. I know you were very successful. I know that the lives of young HS men and their success was very important to you. God bless you and thank you Mike. "
"May the warm beautiful memories of Michael wash over you at this time and stay with you forever. I didn?t know Michael but met him by accident literally, but those few moments will stay with me forever. I thought I was there to aid, comfort and him, but he was the one offering comfort, support and humor to me! Although the encounter was brief, his light was bright. He was a kind, compassionate human being and will be greatly missed. May G-d wrap you in His comfort like a blanket and shower you with His peace."
