Michael and I graduated from St. Patrick High School in 1966. I remember him well. He was popular and well-liked and he also did well academically. He was a good guy. This photo is a copy of Michael's Senior Portrait from my copy of the 1966 St. Patrick High School Yearbook - The Shamrock. RIP, Michael.
