Condolences
"The older Ferriter children got to know "Big Mike" as young children. He lived with us when he first came to Chicago, and he was magical. And I never lost that feeling for him, to me he will always be this larger-than-life uncle that appeared in our life and was loads of fun. I have a memory of being quite young and deciding to climb a tree over by the 91st train station park. Once up, I was terrified and I just remember screaming go and get Big Mike. He came and got me down. RIP Big Mike Noreen"
