Ever since I was a toddler, I spent much of my time with my first and closest friend, Michael Milward. As we grew up together, Big Mike (Mike Moffa), entered into Mikey's family when we were still in grade school. Never once did I felt discomfort around Big Mike. He never hesitated to crack a joke, and he always supported Mikey throughout all his endeavors. With open arms, Mike embraced the role of a father-figure. I know Mikey developed a special bond with Mike, and to be able to see my best friend live happily after the adversity he has faced because of Mike's ability to help provide for his two step-children, his lovely wife, and the big ol' chocolate lab, Hershey, is exalting. I lament Mike's passing, for I know Michael, David, Cindy and the entire Moffa family will fervently miss such an entertaining, supportive, humble human being. I hope that both families will be resilient from their loss, for we all know Mike will rest in peace. Thanks for the memories Mike. You were a great man.
