Mike was my good friend in Band for 3 years. I knew him well after I graduated from MVHS as well. He could find ways to be amusing, whether to torture Mr. Ricci or others. It was always in good fun, whether it was launching rubber chickens or making a mark during the Homecoming halftime show. It was fun to share the humor with you, Mike. Thank you for the memories and laughs.
