I am sorry to read about the passing of Michael. I worked with Pat for years hanging drywall and he was our neighbor before that. A mother shouldn't have to endure the passing of 1 son, let alone 2. We are very saddened for all of your family especially the children. . I only met Mike 1 time, but thought he was a real nice guy. Dave Walker
