Mike was my dad's roommate at Edison Manor. He provided much laughter and friendship to dad and I thank him for this. Not only will my dad miss Mike, but my brother, too. He and Mike became buddies over the last year or so. Mom and Mike became friends as well - Mike will truly be missed. May all the family have the Peace of God during this very sad time.
