I was very shocked and sad to learn of Michael's death. He was one of my best friends. We met when I was at the University of MD in the late 70's. Lots of memories of him always being there for others. He was a very positive and encouraging person. Michael was very proud of his education at St. Johns and GWU. We went through the UMD MGA Masters program together and both worked at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, MD.

I met Michael when I was interviewing for a job at Defenders of Wildlife. Once hired, I sometimes needed his help with information for proposals. He was unfailingly gracious and patient. This is a huge loss and I am so sad.

Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.

The Cross family met Mike when we were at MD Farms Condo. We were shocked and saddened when we heard the news. We will always remember his infectious smile. And please know that if anything positive ever came from a death, I truly believe that Michael Mercurio saved our family's lives because yesterday I checked our smoked detectors and NEITHER of them worked. They work now, and we will check them every 6 months from now on, thanks to him. Thank you, Mike for EVERYTHING!
