Contribution in Mike’s memory may be made to The American Parkinson Disease Association, 135 Parkinson Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10305 A bon vivant, Mike enjoyed fine dining and good wines. He loved his pets, marched to the beat of his own drum, yielded to no man, and lived his life to the fullest. He was a man who truly believed in a friend or two worthy of the name, and more than enough to drink – for thirst is a dangerous thing. Arrangements are under the direction of Harrod Brothers Funeral Home.
