Remembrances

'Grace' is not a word I would use to describe how Mike literally moved through the world.  I remember lots of boyhood shenanigans that often ended with something like a closet door broken, bodily injury to someone, or being punished for something stupid we did.  I remember lots of times with him, all of us together, making silly jokes, waving our hands about wildly, and the most silly and outrageous comments to be yelled at a movie, a Sabres game, video game, or show we would watch. 

Still, 'Grace' is exactly what I remember Mike giving to me and to others.  As a child it was easy to look to him for care, comfort, and guidance.  I truly felt cared for by him, and that is a remarkable thing to give to someone.

I was saddened to learn of his passing. He was an energetic little boy who was curious about everything. He loved to wear his overalls and play play play. He loved his little brother and called him Dotie. He was friends with my son Eric and I was a friend to his mom Jane. Many fond memories, birthday parties, parks. When they moved east they all were missed. We visited them in New York and went to Niagara Falls. Heaven has a wonderful angel.
