There are no words to express how sorry I am for your family. Mike will be deeply missed by all that knew him. We had a lot of laughs at work at Jake's, and I will always remember him for his great smile and generous heart...

I'm so sorry to hear about Mike. I've also lost a child. Trust and Faith in God (despite the unfairness and confusion of it all) was all that got me through. Mike was such a great kid growing up and an awesome man as well. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

When I moved to this country 12 years ago Michael was one of the first people to make me feel truly welcome. Such a nice, warm, genuine guy. We may have been more acquaintances than friends but his passing still strikes an emotional chord. My condolences to the family

Dear Lynne, Joe and Jimmy,
We are heartbroken for the loss of your beloved son. I will always remember Michaels smile and great sense of humor. A handsome guy with a welcoming way, he always took time to talk and have a joke with me. I will always remember the "MAYOR" with Love.
With sympathy and friendship
