I met Mike in the 5th grade, Mr. Petty’s class. I was new to the school and Mike befriended me rather quickly. We would always get in trouble daily for laughing in class and cracking jokes.  He was a Redskins fan and I was a Cowboys fan. Despite that difference we became good friends.  We went on to High school and played football together for 4 years and Mike was one of the best players in the shore and that I’ve ever played with, a great teammate. 
Mike was a great friend, a great family man and a great human being. He was definitely taken too soon from this world and will be sorely missed by everyone who he touched in his life. Til we meet again buddy.
