Richard Maurer wrote a sympathy message

“I am sorry to hear about Mike’s death. Your family has my deepest sympathy! I spent a number of years with Mike at Sacred Heart Seminary. We would see each other at reunions. He was a very kind and easy person to like and get along with; even though he struck me out in a fast pitch softball game! May he rest in peace 🙏”
