I really wish I’d had a chance to see Mike again. I worked with him many years ago; I was a pharmacy technician at Randall’s in Humble/Kingwood. He & I worked many late shifts together and we often ordered dinner; usually Chinese or pizza. I remember him making fun of me for eating pepperoni on my pizza. He called them “scabs.” LOL! We had some great conversations & we shared many laughs. Rest in peace, my friend, until we meet again.
To all the Family,
So sorry to see that Mike has passed. Mary Jo, Amy and all, you have my prayers for peace and comfort in the difficult days ahead.
Mike was our neighbor here in Coldspring. He was a good neighbor that would watch out for our place while we were out of town and let our dog out of her pen for extra walks. Rest in Peace Mike.. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Was very close family and cousin. Grew up together with all our family. May his soul rest in peace. Prayers for all his family.
A dear Friend and neighbor growing up on East Lavaca. I was so sorry to hear of his passing and send my condolences to his sister, Mary Jo, and all of her family. Rest in peace, Mike.
Mike and I both grew up on Lavacca street in South Park and were close friends for many years. As kids, we played every kind of sport from daylight to dark. Mike was a great guy and one of the best athletes around. I was proud to have him as a friend.
I’m so sorry to hear of his passing and sorry for the family’s loss. RIP Mike.
Mike and I were friends in grade school at St. Anthony’s Grammar School. After school we would meet after school in the neighborhood, to go shoot basketball at
Lamar College. Mike was very athletic and could have gone Pro in many varieties of sports. He chose to help others in their pursuit of getting well , as a Pharmacist.
My ole Friend, will be missed.
God bless the Family.
