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.
Mike will be dearly missed. He was a great addition to any get together, he always upped the ante, and kept you on your toes. And most importantly, he's one of the people responsible for bringing us together. Thank you, Mike! Cheers!
