Mi dispiace molto di non potere più praticare la nostra passione insieme, la pesca. Avrei voluto passare più tempo con te. Dovunque tu sei resterai sempre nel mio cuore. Miss you Gaetano

Mike was part of almost every memory I had growing up in St. Andrews and st. Ignatius, I remember being with him when he found out what happened to all the rabbits that were around the house. He was always having fun and laughing and an honour to have grown up around him. Our championship basketball team, we made him Captain, because of his hard work, talent and a consummate team player. Captain Caruso helped inspire us. Mike was one of the best people I had the pleasure to meet in my life. I am very sadden with his loss and know he would have been courageous in his fight. My condolences to his entire family and friends, this is a huge loss for all of us.
sincerely, Mike and Carolyn Dolcetti, Moncton, NB

I miss the days coming in to work for the night when Mikey C (as I called him) was finishing up his day shift. We would always have a quick chat about hockey and then he went home. He is and will be very missed, rest in peace.
