To the entire Modesto Family, particularly our childhood friends. My deepest sympathy goes out to you for the lost of this wonderful friend.
Kathy, Mike, Ann, Marybeth and Johnny were a constant and mostly loving part of our childhood for many years. Their next door neighbors: Jan, Paul, Betty, Tom, Mike were with one or the other of them most days, I cannot think of the fun times we had without thinking of all of you. I pray that Our Father grant you all His peace and consolation during this time of grief. You have our prayers. Peace & love to you all! Jan and Bob Green

Dear Modesto Family, I want to express my deepest condolences to you on the passing of Mike in August 2023. His death I learned from reading the Bishop DuBourg H.S. “Cavalier” Fall 2024 magazine in the Alumni Obituary section. Mike was a terrific friend in our 1967 Class who I shared many special memories with him. I am shocked that he is gone. Mike always had a great smile and ready to help others in need. Everyone enjoyed bring with him and was the life of any party gathering. May he rest in peace in Heaven and God bless him.
