    My condolences and prayers are being sent to Michael’s family. I knew Michael as a student at Saint David’s School where he excelled in the classroom, on fields of athletic competition, and as a friend to all. Michael epitomized the aspiration that the school holds for all its boys, “That They Be Good Men.”

    We spent, more or less, twelve or thirteen years of school together. My first sleepover was at your house. I think yours was at mine. Once (as teenagers), while you were in your auxiliary police uniform, you handcuffed me and another of our friends, rang the doorbell of our friend's parents' house, and pretended to his father that we were under arrest. Until we were all laughing too hard to carry on the farce. It's a great story, full of nuance I'll not explain here. Before you held the role of an example to others, you were always a lot of fun to hang out with. I'll tell James about it.

    My condolences to his family and friends. Mike and I had some great of memories together. We had a lot in common. We loved to Dj music together and he introduced me to EDM music. Now I can’t stop listening to it. We always talked about are war stories since we both were in law enforcement. He would say I catch the criminals and you watch them. I will never forget when he said he couldn’t do my job. As we say in law enforcement rest easy brother. You will missed. Thank you for all the good memories.
