Judy, children, and family,
While checking for somebody else, I came across Mike's notice. And, although we haven't come in contact for a while; I was hit hard by this. You and Mike were very generous with your kindness and friendship. I'll never forget meeting, and eating, at your family's restaurant in Albion. And, I'll never forget Mike's big voice singing to you at the opening of Samuel's Grand Manor ... "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine !"
And he meant it.
My prayers will go out to you and him, and your family.
Mike's second favorite drummer,
Gus Russo

Dear Mike, Matt, and family,
I'm terribly sorry to hear about your dad's passing. I first met him a bunch of years ago while coaching North Buffalo Football. Then we crossed paths again as we coached against each other CHS/SJCI freshman football. A proud dad he was. Whether at the football field, on the street, or at a wrestling match, whenever I saw him he made sure to brag about his kids.
I will be sure to keep all of you in my prayers.

Mike was a good guy! I know you will have tough days ahead and our thoughts and prayers are with all of you!
Call me anytime if you need anything, or just to talk, or get out and have a drink. We love you all!
No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with all of you as you grieve.
Love,
Lydia, Mark, Rachel, Kristofer & Ryan
