When a wonderful friend like Mike leaves, it's like a piece of us leaves with him. Instead of feeling a missing piece though, I feel the many pieces Mike left here that we can remember & cherish. Love to you Patty for being his best friend.

Deb and I were sorry to read about Mike's passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I use to go to wrestling matches at Beca and cheer him on along with some of my other friends who wrestled. We often shared a table at lunch in the cafe ,and we shared many interesting and pleasant discussions. Mike made the world a better place!

Kozo Family.
I was sorry when I learned of Mike's passing away. Although our paths hadn't crossed many times since he graduated from Becahi I never forgot what a great "KID" he was when he was wrestling at " Beca".Distance prohibits my attending his funeral but I will remember him in my prayers. May he RIP.

My heart is breaking for the Kozo family. Having so many cherished memories of childhood fun and all the family gatherings through the decades, with my cousin Michael, is an everlasting gift. My son is lucky enough to call Michael his Godfather and that will always be special to our family. Good times, good memories, a good man will never be forgotten. May the love of family and friends comfort the Kozo family at this time. May a lifetime of treasured memories with Michael remain forever in the hearts of all that knew him.
