My sincerest condolences to Mrs. McCarthy, Brian and Noreen. I was trying to look up old friends from the "burg" about a week ago. My hope was to find Mike, Bart, and some of the old gang from Brookdale. It was at that point that I learned of Mike's passing. We had so much fun hanging out in the old days- trips to Belmar, going to the Abbey on monday's when Buster tended bar, and eventually, growing up.Mike took on responsibility much earlier than the rest of us. We all marveled at his drive and ambition in owning his own house and becoming a proud father by the age of 25! Most of us were still living at home at that point. However,I know and will always cherish the fact that Mike never forgot how to have a good time, and most importantly, never forgot a friend in need. "Mike, this Bud's for you!" God Bless the McCarthys- you are in my prayers.
