Michael ran the Oil Change Place in Tampa for many years and I enjoyed our time together.
Months after 9/11 my family went to NYC and toured the ruins. At the Firemans Museum I purchased a NYFD arm patch. After returning home I was getting my oil changed and we spent some talking at length about what happened that day. At this point I gave Michael the NYFD patch. He burst into uncontrollable tears and lost his composure. His heart was crushed thinking about all the lost firemen that day. Outside he might have seemed to be a tough old Downers Grove Fireman but inside was a real man with heart and I miss him.
