Mike & I were 1st cousins. Our moms (Barbara & Dorothy) were close sisters. We spent many fun times as kids together. Our families played cards together, celebrated holidays, attended many of Mike’s football games where he was quarterback at Mendel Catholic High School, and we hung out as young adults.
We lost touch over the years, but Mike will be remembered as one of my favorite cousins. He will be remembered fondly. RIP Mike🩷

I only knew Mike as our quarterback for the Chicago Heights Park District Rams in 1969. He took us through the championship undefeated that year.
So sorry for your loss.
