Mike, I can remember when you and Ellen got engaged at our 10th year class reunion. That was such a joyous occasion. I believe that was the first time I met you and you left a lasting impression. We had many fun times at your house when we'd come to visit Chicago in Dec. I have pictures from those happy times and that's how I'll remember you - jovial, funny, always making people laugh and a smile a mile wide. May you rest in peace, my friend.
Love,
Mary and Hugh
