Before leaving the funeral parlor, there was a moving ceremony and a military flag presentation to Patricia. He served in the U.S Marine Corp during Vietnam and was a disabled veteran. Patricia and some other close friends spoke about Mike and his life, at the waterfront, and everyone was then invited to a local restaurant for a meal and drinks.
