Very sad at loosing one of the best friends a person could have. We worked together at Real Estate Research Co. for years and attended many high school and football games in the Chicago area. For 30 years we, along with his wonderful sons Michael and John attended the Illinois High School Basketball Championship tournament Mike had a great sense of humor and was very generous.

Attended many football and basketball games at Leo in the late 50s and early 60s with my then boyfriend. Mike was "the little engine that could". He was absolutely amazing, the very definition of "unstoppable", and so much fun to watch. God rest his soul and care for his family.

To Coach Lux's Family: Mike was a damned good coach who taught the fundamentals and didn't allow his methods to be compromised. He was a good man; I was honored to know him and glad that he coached our son at Damian.
