Thanks Mike for your help we made a lot of sawdust together later
On behalf of the St. James High School Alumni Association and his 1961 classmates, I extend our deepest sympathies and prayers on your loss. On April 23, 2023, the Alumni Association will remember Michael at their annual Memorial Mass at St. Madeline’s Church in Ridley Park. May he rest in peace!
my uncle Mike and Godfather will be missed. Always asked how the family is and I could always talk to him about anything. The stories his brothers and sisters shared with all of the nieces and nephews growing up were classic Evans fodder.
