In Memoriam: Mike Finnegan 1942-2006

Mike Finnegan, father of 30 year employee Ginny Rialmo and longtime friend of the Studio, passed away Monday. Mike was a retired firefighter, and served as a deacon at his local parish.

As we all attended the wake last night, we realized how many lives he touched - the line to pay last respects was out the door. We were honored that we had the opportunity to photograph Mike with his family over the years, and that they were included in the photographic tribute at the wake. One of our favorite images is Mike with his sons and son-in-law, all dressed in their firefighter uniforms. He is beaming with pride!

We extend our deepest condolences to the family; he will be missed by many.
