Marsha,
My heart and my prayers go out to you during this time. You and Mick shared an unstopable love- that I always saw in the years I have been a part of your family. Treasure that, and know that he is always with you- loving you and laughing with you along the way. May God give you comfort and the peace that passes all understanding. Blessings to you always...
Love,
Sarah

To My dearest Sister Marsha, The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and
comfort of God's love.

Remembering with you...
...the life of someone so dear.

With Sincerest Sympathy Love Glenn

To all who loved Mike, Back in the day Mike's dad (Mac) and my dad were best of friends. I enjoyed high school with Mike and enjoyed fishing with him and my 2 sons. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was there whenever he was needed. He will surly be missed .

To Mickey's Family,

I am very sorry to hear of Mickey's passing. I haven't seen him in many years but remember him from Maplewood School and from WHS.

He came to visit my sister and her husband in Florida many years ago and we all had a nice visit.

He did many good things for his country and his community. His family can be very proud of him.

May he RIP.

To the family of Mickey Kerr.

Don and I are saddened to hear of the loss of your brother Mickey. We have known him for many years and went through Maplewood School as well as Watervliet High with him. .

Mickey, came to visit us in South Florida which was a suprise and very interesting visit. It was great seeing him after some 20+ years. He grew up to be a nice gentleman..

We'd like to take the time to thank him and our now young and very courageous men and women serving our country. God Bless all of them. We were proud to have known Mickey for all those years. May he now rest in peace

Again our Sincere Sympathy

Mickey's grandfather Timothy Sepotoski was my grandfather's first cousin, both of whom immigrated from Poland not long after the turn of the century. Tim 'vouched' for my grandfather so he could enter the US in 1907.

Mickey like those of his people before him were hard working.

I did some masonry work with Mickey in the 90's, at the time he was cultivating a fine sense of humor, always an indication of the good mind.

Mickey lived life to the fullest, he did not waste his time while he was here.
