My deepest condolences for your loss. I’m so sorry and sad to hear that Michael had past. I didn’t know him very well, we were neighbors for a very long time, and to me, Michael was the awesome neighbor who loved animals. He would give our dogs treats and even take Buddy out on trips. I hadn’t seen him around in a long time, but it would always make me smile when I would hear someone say they saw Michael tossing a couple of treats over the fence for our dogs.

Mike was one of the kindest caring people I could have ever known. Always looking for ways to help. When I heard of his passing my heart hurt. He will be truly missed.
