Michael was and always will be the heart of everyone with whom he encountered. A total loving human being, unselfish, funny and mostly very understanding of human nature. I will always feel blessed to have been a small part of his life, His wife, Deb, is as giving as Mike was, and will uphold his memory bravely. To my most beloved Fugatt family, I wish you peace. To my mother-in-law, Katherine, I will always love the heart you have, and have given to your children, and all of us.
God Bless. Lynnda

To the Fugatt Family - I am so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Mike was one of the first people to welcome me when I moved to the Worcester area. If I could have half of that ability to make others feel as welcome how fortunate I would be. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family at this difficult time.

a fantastic power of example. the tragedies and triumphs of this man's life were astounding to watch over the years. the overwhelming grief that burdened him - and still he went beyond it to learn about you. an instant, loyal friend to anyone. how beautifully he allowed tears to flow with ease expressing his passions. very few had such an appreciation for life, family and friends. and if you merely smiled at him from across the room, unknowingly realizing he needed it, he would thank you - thank God for showing him your smile - and be forever connected with gratitude to you. Why? Because that's all it took for Michael. Thank you so much for teaching me that, Michael. ... I couldn't fail to mention how much he made me and so many laugh. Humble enough to have self deprecating, side splitting humor. thank you.
And to the family, my condolences.
Rob, Tricia... love to you both, I have been non stop thinking of you.

Dear Fugatt Family,
I am so sorry to learn of Michaels passing. It was a blessing and pleasure to have known him for several years. I loved to listen to Michael when he shared. It was always with such compassion and conviction that he caught the attention of so many, but in the end somehow was able to make us laugh. He will and had been missed very much. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.
Love,

My condolences to the family. I loved Mike like a brother and we spent many hours eating, laughing, and joking. Mike was one to find himself in awkward predicaments. He once called me to come 'immediately' because he was stuck in the engine compartment of his truck. Not only did I have to take half of the truck apart, I had to lube Mike up with baby oil to slide him out.
Always remembered,
Dave Roy
