Michael was a fine young man. I met him at the Rehab Institute of Chicago. We used to play soccer there and he would always beat me. He would always talk about his lovely daughter and faithful dog. I would always see him being driven to RIC by his lovely wife and Schaumburg Firefighters, which I thought was very nice as they seemed to enjoy the task of getting him help so he could return to work. I wish I could have gotten to know him better, but that willnever happen now
