W. Richard Flood, jr. wrote a sympathy message

“I was so sad to read Kathy's email that my friend Mike had passed away. We have been friends since 1965 when Mike started to teach geography at Northern Jr.-Sr. High School. Mike served as my Best Man when I married Pam Kennedy in 1977. Being both avid Yankee fans we had many conversations about the team throughout the years. My condolences to Kathy, Jennifer, Brian, James, Lisa, his brother Kerry and all the grandchildren. Mike will be greatly missed by so many. Dick Flood”
