We are so sorry to hear about Mike's passing. Mike was a pleasure to know and one of the funniest people we've ever met. Any time we think of Mike we will smile. I am sure he is still smiling as well.

Uncle Mikey,

Not only were you my godfather and favorite uncle, but everyone's favorite all around friend. Your genorosity and humor never failed to brighten our days, and I can only hope we all will carry a bit of that with us. You are a hero to all, and I know right now you are with Grandma Gleeson, Marty and Pat, cracking all of them up with some sort of dirty humor or such.

We Love You and You Will Be Remembered and Honored Always.
