My most sincere condolences to Michael’s extended family. Michael was a good friend during our high school years at BHS and we spent many evenings listening to music from WKBW in Buffalo, NY which changed its broadcast pattern in the evenings so you could tune in from Bridgewater. I last saw Michael at one of the BHS reunions in the 1990s and we had a good talk, sharing reminiscences. He was a kind and gentle person. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
