I have so many wonderful memories of my brother Michael. He will be greatly missed. He was a typical big brother who delighted in bossing me around and teasing me. It comforts me to know he’s on the other side with our mom and our brothers Art and David. I wish I could listen in to their conversations. He will be so missed and he leaves a hole in our hearts. Love and hugs to Ruth, Wendy, Danny and his beloved grandkids. You were Mike’s greatest treasures.
