Anne and I have always cherished our friendship with the Hannigan family. Mike was a major part of that with his charming personality. He was always in a good mood and greeted everyone warmly. Mike was a fun and intelligent person all the way from our high school English class to our book club. Mike will be missed as a person who was always happy to see you and you were always happy to be with him. We will always have the memories of our time together in Scituate and Camp Hannigan. Anne and Fred
