Mike
had a large extended family including 4 living grandparents,
12 aunts and uncles, and many cousins. Our yard was often
filled with neighborhood kids his age. Mike always wanted
to be in the middle of the action; he loved to be around
people. He loved creative, theatrical play and physical
activity.

Mike
and his brother spent time fishing and exploring the water at
the end of the street. They had their beloved dog, rabbits,
tropical fish, snakes, and rescued the occasional injured bird.
Michael was always very sensitive and compassionate. He began
studying piano and violin, and took art lessons; really enjoying
sculpture. |

school play

As younger brothers do, Mike often emulated
his older brother, taking sailing lessons and playing ice
hockey. They spent lots of time skateboarding and riding their
bikes through the woods down at the "Honda path"
with the other neighborhood kids.
