Michael was a kind and down to earth friend. He was always thoughtful and concerned about your well being. Numerous people who worked with him over the years always had great things to say about Michael. His perseverance to live while enduring suffering and enjoy life to its fullest was his prime objective. He will always be remembered for being kind and concerned about his friends and relatives at all times through thick and thin. May God Bless Michael for he is living in another beautiful home with no pain and suffering.

For only a few years did I know Michael while working at Verizon, but in those few years did I see a wonderful, uncomplaining person. He was always a delight to speak with. He suffered much but his spirits were always high. I'm so glad that he was able to spend his last years in Oregon. He always spoke of Oregon, visited there and seemed to love it there. May God rest his soul after his long suffering. And may God bless his friends and relatives.

Michael worked with my mom at NYNEX and we got to be friends through her. He was so cool and so funny and so AQUARIAN, and we could be that together at least. He prayed for me always, so very much appreciated. He always made me laugh, and I've missed him since I've been away from the US. Flights of angels sing thee to thy rest, dear friend.
