To Michael’s family, so very sorry for your loss. We grew up with Michael on the shores of Lake Miona, his family had purchased my grandparents’ home on the Lake and Johnny’s family had a house next door, and we lived up on the other side of the park. Michael was a go-getter from as long as I can remember and never stopped. We rode the bus together all through high school and Michael loved to tease my sister Debbie on the bus about her many crushes on boys, she would blush and tell him to stop, and he would give her a big belly laugh. Johnny remembers when he and his sisters and Greg and Gina would work for Michael plucking chickens, ducks or sanding his junk cars so he could paint and resell them. They were always paid with a cold RC out of his drink machine in his bedroom and a moon pie, that’s how he earned the name Haney. After he started the vegetable stand in Belleview, I would ride up with my Uncle Jim to Mike’s vegetable stand, he always spoke very well of Mike, and said what a good man he was. Lodi always said she named Michael after my father, Terry. We are distantly related through her mother Lorine and my great grandmother, Sarah Grant LaVeigne’s sister, Frances Grant Nelson. Please give Debbie a big hug when you see her in Heaven and tell her I miss her, as you will be missed. Until we meet again my friend. ~ Cheri LaVeigne Coniglio & Johnny
