He was one of a kind. As one person said to me after he passed away "you only meet guys like Mike once in a lifetime", and that is so true. He was larger than life and wanted to put his arms around this life and all it had to offer. There was nothing he couldn't do or accomplish - once he set his mind to something there would be no stopping him. He knew the secret that life was to be lived and not wasted. Relationships and time with people he cared for and enjoyed is what mattered most to Mike.He was my big brother and he loved sharing his life and joys with me. I have very fond memories of exploring Philadelphia during the time he spent there. We hit some great restaurants and bars, and Mike introduced me to some great people in Philly. We spent one afternoon at the Irish Times - a great place where I knew he felt welcomed.I am happy he had the joy of living in Philadelphia during his last year of his life. It was a city that was completely suited for Mike - he enjoyed the sports, the nightlife, the food and most importantly he fit in and love the people. I'm glad he found places like the Irish Times where he felt at home. My Brother Mike is extremely missed by his family and by those who knew him. He was one of a kind.
