We can't leave out his kitties either, Allie and Elliott. Mike was formally employed at Calvary Cemetery and Murphy Steel Fab, before finding a career, and his dream job, at Lockheed Martin. He was so proud to be working on the helicopters. Mike took pride in every aspect of his job, and always did his best, to do his best. Mike shared the family interests in cars and military aircraft and was a meticulous model builder of these growing up. As a homeowner, he grew to become a handyman too. Mike was a softy at heart, who cared about people. He loved to socialize, be it family gatherings, or just tipping a beer with friends. We love you Mikey, and will always miss you, little brother. Thanks to all of Mikes friends and family that offered to be tested for bone marrow donations and blood transfusions. The family would also like to thank the caring staff at Westchester Medical Center for their thoughtful care.
