• Notes

  I lost my best friend yesterday. You knew him as Mike from Facebook, work or as a parent you met while he was doing what he loved to do the most, being a Dad. I called him Milzy. He was four years older than me and one of the most annoying and aggravating people I knew, but I think that’s a brother thing. Milz was a big man with an even bigger heart. Being 4 years younger than him I was happily included in many of his adventures and shenanigans growing up. Being in a family of 8 means Mike and I pretty much shared everything. I was also lucky enough to work construction with him for about 20 years after high school. Every day working with him was filled with laughter. Even on the hardest jobs, Mike found a way to make it a little bit easier. I could get into all the pranks and tricks he pulled on me and I fell for every time, but that would take hours. Mike and my father were very much alike. Both were very inclusive people that loved to make people laugh and smile. I can’t count the number of times that he would call to let me know that there was a job going on and to call my friends or anyone that needed the money. One job we were on my brothers Dave and Matt showed up to do the plaster work. I don’t think they even knew what plaster was, but Mike saw an opportunity to get them on the job. By the time the job was finished they patched plaster on 8 floors and worked another year on the next project. But that was Mike, he was always willing to spread the wealth. He just wanted people to be happy. It was important to him just as it was to my dad. Milzy was a simple guy. All he needed was his family. He left us with his family holding him and my father greeting him. Just as he would’ve wanted it. Mike was a lot of things to a lot of people. Our friend Jason pretty much summed it up perfectly for me. “Ya he had a big heart Marty , not everyone knew that or saw that but the people that really knew him knew” I lost my best friend yesterday.
