Michael, you always had a smile and never a bad word to say. I worked as a waitress at Alfie's where all of these 77th substation law enforcement used to come in to eat on their code 7. I attended your funeral along with several other waitresses that all knew you and were sad to see that you were murdered in such an unfortunate way. 50 years is a long time, but I can still see you sitting at the table in the restaurant and serving you your meal. May you rest in peace and one day we will know the truth of who murdered you.
