Marcia, Kathy, Rich, Terre & Beth,
I was saddened to learn of Mike's passing, you can take comfort knowing he's with your parents and Grandparents now looking after all of you. I'll never forget all the happy times we spent together at Lake George. Whether it was swimming at Cotton Point, playing ball in the front yard or going to all the amusement parks in the area, Mike was a great friend to hang around with. As we grew older, we saw one another less frequently, but I'll always remember those happy times we had as young boys. Mike never had a bad word to say about anyone. I feel honored that he was my friend and I'll never forget him.

To the entire Kissane family,

Mike was a great guy to be around. Growing up just a few steps away, visits to the house were frequent and fun throught my childhood. From being a host to many pool parties to being Santa at Christmas time, he always brought joy to my life as well as my family. My thoughts go out to the whole family.

To Marcia and the family of Mike Kissane,

As an attorney in Troy concentrating in the civil practice of law during the 15 year period from 1972 to 1987, I dealt with Mike on a continuing basis in his capacity as a clerk in the Civil Office of the Albany County Sheriff. Our dealings with one another were indeed memorable. Mike was a truly unique individual. Please accept my sincere condolences on his passing.

I will miss Mike a lot - "Uncle Mikey" has been a part of National Little League for more years than I even know, most recently watching his nephews Brandon and AJ play. Mike was one of the most kind and gentle people I've ever known, and the world will be a sadder place without him.
