Dear Friends,

We have been away for months and just heard the sad news that Mike had passed away.

He was indeed a wonderful and wild guy. In the aftermath of Winter Storm Riley, 3/2/18  Mike in his expert and “take no bs modus operandi” acted as our advocate and champion with our flood insurance company and secured for us twice what had been offered. This was a huge help to us personally and financially. Thanks to Mike we could save our home. He knew he had our deep gratitude – as he had that of so many he helped in the wake of many disasters.

We will remember his stories, salty/funny language, good heart and showing up in his red corvette with his buddy  Bruschi.

We have made a donation in Mike’s name to Quincy Animal Shelter

Wishing you peace, healing and happy memories.

Mike and Cyndy Cotter, Post Island
