So sorry to hear. Such a nice guy. My prayers are with the family.
Dear Pam, Boys, Jose, Dilma and family…
Harry and I want all of you to know how much Mike means to us. He was a friend of quality to us, an ‘Uncle” to our children and a terrific pal to our critters. We will forever carry great memories in our hearts from Jamaica to his description of what the daughter would have been like had he and Pam done so. We’re going to miss Euchre, BBQs and general BSing too. God bless you all with Peace at this trying time. Mike, you were one heck of a man! We luv’ya, buddy!….. Shawn and Harry
My deepest sympathy to the Morales family. Rest in peace old friend. Don’t catch all the catfish in heaven. Save some for me. Greg Elceser
Pam so sorry for your loss. I don’t know if you remember me we went to Wilson school together years ago, and we ran into each other at a benefit one year, and I knew Mike from St. Mary’s and didn’t realize you was his wife, and one and the same Pam that I went to school with in Washington Park. I was glad to find you were still in the area. Take care, and let God ease your pain.
Omg! Sorry sorry to hear of this. Mike was and always will be one of my favorite people. The BEST Supervisor ever. I will always remember you Mike. So sorry for your loss Pam. Hate I couldn’t say goodbye.
Love from your Touchette Family.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I worked with Mike for many years at Touchette and St. Mary’s. He was a very well liked man.
