Uncle Mike was one of the anchors in all the family -he was always there for anyone who needed a hand, and always cheerful - (even when Aunt Mary would catch him snatching a meatball from the pot!)
We will miss him, to be sure, but will always cherish our memories with him. Our love and sympathy to the family. Frankie & Christina Pusateri

Auntie Mary & Camille,
I will always remember coming to your home with Dad to work in the wood shop. "Uncle Mike" always gave me something to work on and taught me so much! His memory will live on. Maybe he and Dad are working on something together again.
Love, Elaine
