I recently found out my buddy past away Thursday 3.31.22 and I will truly miss him…I met Mike J Goggin when I was 20 yrs. old, he was 16yrs. older than me too…I don’tknow what it is but I’ve always hung out with people older than me, even in high school when I was a freshman I hung out with the seniors…Anyway, I had another buddy who’s also 16yrs. older than me and said, Phil this is Mike if you ever get in trouble he’s the best lawyer in the city of Chicago…So I sat down and we had a few beers together…I told Mike that I will probably won’t need you because I don’t plan on getting in trouble with the law…
I’ve seen Mike throughout my life and we drank together and we have mutual friends…Anyway about 25yrs. after I first met him I got into trouble and I had to call him, it was nothing major but it still could affect my life…Mike got me off the first trouble and 4 more troubles after that 
… We became good friends and he even invited me to his private house parties…He also said said if you have nothing to do and you’re around the neighborhood stop by for a drink…I did that several times when I saw his car in front of his house.
I will really miss Mike, he has been a great friend & mentor to me…I made this thread for people on Overgrow for members who want to pay respect to people they’ve lost throughout the years…If you’ve lost any loved ones, family member and good friends this is a thread for members to pay respect to them…
