Michael Raines Obituary

Thinking of my first buddy, Michael, today. Man, I miss this guy. No one could make me laugh like him. It hurts my heart that he's not here.

Hugs for your family on the 6th anniversary of your passing. When I turn 70 in the Spring on our birthday twin date I will remember that you would have been 40.

I can't believe it has been 5 years--birthday twin with just 30 years in between us. Hugs for your family.

Mike, love you and miss you. It broke my heart to hear the news. It is 5 years later, and I still cant believe it. I hope your family is getting along ok. Love the Hayes Park Crew!!!! Louie Passi

My deepest sympathy to you all. Michael always had a big hug for me and would make me smile and laugh. We both were born on April 19th and I enjoyed a birthday greeting from him each year on Facebook and I enjoyed writing him too. Gone too soon. The brotherhood of Delta Sigma Phi has lost another brother way too soon.

Had some good memories with Mikey from WIU. I am so sorry for your loss.
