I had the pleasure of being Mike's neighbor for the last five years. We also spent many hours at the Moose debating politics. We had a lot of fun disagreeing on just about everything! What a charmingly cantankerous soul! He will be missed and not just because he cleaned our gutters! Love and condolences to his large and lovely family.

Mike and I had been friends for 30 years. He was very good to me when I was laid up with a broken ankle ten years ago. He brought food by my house every day. I was very sad to hear of his passing. R.I.P. Mike.

Mike & I grew up in the same town, Avoca Pa. He was a few years older than me but I remember him & his siblings, especially his brother Stephen who was in my class at St. Mary's Parochial School. Back in those days, kids knew where all their classmates lived. Even after all these years, I still refer to their old homestead as The Conaboy's house. Condolences & prayers of comfort for Mike's family.

I am quite saddened to read of Mike’s death. We were friends back in our youthful days in Avoca, PA where I served as his family’s paper boy. (Remember them?) Mike was always friendly, jovial, and welcoming, as were all members of his family. I shall think of him often today. Condolences to all.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.
