    Our sincere condolences to Mary and the Family. I always considered Mike a mentor and a role model. Always positive, always supportive. Mike knew how to treat people no matter what the situation. He was surely one of the good guys. I will always have fond memories of Michael.

    I was in Mr. Kelleher’s first Biology class in VI back in 1961. He was a good and memorable teacher! I’m sorry for your loss.
