The Notorious Michael J Ferraro
What will the World be like without Him? I can't imagine. Michael J. was notorious alright.
•He was notorious for always being there for his family and friends when no one else was.
•He was notorious for seeing the best in the people that no one else did.
•He was notorious for turning anything that he touched into a success.
•He was notorious for helping anyone with a good cause.
•He was notorious for showing you a good time.
•He was notorious for being larger than life.
•He was notorious for some of us, of being our night in shinning armor.
•He was notorious for changing lives.
•He was notorious for finding a missing or blown light bulb.
•He was notorious for just being notorious.
, But for most of us he was just Michael and our lives will never be the same; we will miss him every single day.
With all our love,
Tony, Julie, Nikki J Caserta
