				Mike O'Rourke, a/k/a Squid Kids Dad...
			 
			 
			
		
		
		I just saw that Frank's (Swimmer) brother Mike O'Rourke, a/k/a Squid Kids Dad passed away yesterday... 
Godspeed.
 
If anyone has any photos with Mike from fishing, the family is looking.

		 Horrible news for sure. Condolences to Frank and the family. Godspeed SKD. We are losing a lot of the good ones lately. Seems like yesterday I was fishing with Mike and Larry in the jeep on race point...

		 Ugh. 
Like numbskull said, we kinda are starting to get to that age. 
 
I used to love to see Larry and Mike in the jeep, too. 
 
Frank, my condolences, as well.  Please pass them along to the rest of the family.

		 Mike was a good guy. 
He would come into my shop from time to time to write appraisals when he still worked for Hanover Ins.  
Very sorry for his loss to his kids & his brother Frank & family.

 Yup I remember it well Don that was fun! Mike really enjoyed it! I will have to root around and see if I can find some pics that was pre-digital camera days.
 
Mike was a super guy. Always so friendly and upbeat. Unfortunately his last few years were not kind to him. I will remember him with great fondness and cherish the times we spent together. He was a good friend.   My thoughts are with Frank, his Mom and entire family now.

 I know, Right? Just all of a sudden starting a month ago with my brother in law, then Justin White now 3 in 2 days. Maybe we are all getting old but it just seems like it all came at once.
