I was so sorry to see this in the paper, when I saw Mike's picture and read where he worked, my heart sank. He drove me to my place of work on several occasions when my car was in for service. Polite, good sense of humor and courteous is how he was every time. May God Bless him and the family and friends he left behind, who love him dearly.
May he rest in Peace and in Paradise....A grateful customer also originally from Hudson.

Mike, even though I moved away we still found a way to get in a round if golf here and there, get to a few Celts games and talk imbetween those times. You were a great friend and a great person, always helping your family and happy to do so. RIP, I will always miss you, even though we didn't see each other all the time we had the kind of friendship where that didn't matter. Too funny that every time we played golf we both wore the same red polo and that's what you're wearing in your picture here...maybe I'll have to wear mine Thursday for old times sake. Miss you buddy.

My thoughts and prayers are extended to Mike's family and Brenda at this time of loss. I am Mike's barber and friend and I will miss him greatly. Mike was a great person and always came in with a smile and loved joking around with all of us at the Barber Shop. His famous line as he walked out of the Shop was always, "keep it 100".
Rest easy Mike, you will be forever missed & Never forgotten.
Dana,
And the staff at Dana's Barber Shop.

Mike, I miss you and love you so much. I'm lucky that I was blessed with an amazing brother. Whenever I needed someone you were always there for me. Even if you were out, you kept telling me you would come help me out. I will never forget you and I will always keep you alive in my heart. I hope you watch over me, watch over all of us and protect us and lead us to the right path. This doesn't seem real and I would do anything to have you back with me. I love you so much. More than anything. "Peace out kid" forever in my heart

Day by day I think of you,
How can all of this be true?
I can't believe you're really gone,
I still can't accept it,
Just the thought of you makes me cry, I never even got the chance to say goodbye.
Every picture, every letter,
I don't know if it will ever get better.
I always smell your familiar scent,
It makes me think of all of the times we've spent.
I know we didn't always get along,
And every time we talked, it would always go wrong.
So many things I never got to say,
I never imagined you'd ever be so far away.
You were my brother,
And I loved you like no other.
In my heart you'll always be,
You'll be my guide and help me see.
I'll never forget your voice,
I would take your place if I had a choice.
But now I have to let you rest,
Although without you my world's a mess.
I miss you with all of my heart,
I wish we never had to part.
I know you're always by my side,
So now I guess this is my goodbye.
I love you so much Mikey, you will always be in Mine and Giovanni's hearts
