Oh My God,,,I can't believe he's left us. I was wondering why Mike's number was diconnected...Mike and I were best buds from 7th grade thru 11th grade,,,when he lived on Lafayette right off of Constitution.
My wife and I would visit him nearly every summer when we drove from our CA home to Michigan, at his mom's house on Prairie Rd.
PLEASE, Pat Porter or one of his siblings, contact me. I'd like to know a bit more of his passing, and I'll share some of my experiences with Mike, with you, as well.....PH 231-228-6218,,,,[email protected] you - Rest In Peace, ol Bud.

I just can't believe my friend of 63 years has been gone for a year now. We will roam the Bluffs once again someday, my friend. We will see you on the other side . . .

Mike Scanlon has been my good friend since childhood, back in 1957. He always challenged me to think, analyze and be creative. He loved the outdoors, and thru our many hours roaming and exploring Austin Bluffs, I came to love the outdoors as well. Rest in peace, my friend. “Nos autem videbo vos in caelum” - We will see you in Heaven . . .
