I am sorry to learn of Mike's passing. He was looked up to by so many. I enjoyed working with him when I was one of the staff at OWTS.

So sorry for the loss of a good man..remember Mike as a young man growing up in the old neighborhood and being friends with my brother Charlie. We also were family friends and would visit often on ridge road. Mary Beth you had a special brother. My sons so enjoyed him as a teacher. He will be missed by many. RIP Mike

My dad (Edward Langenheim) remebers playing football with him at the Torrington High School, he was known to my dad as "Iron Mike Bakunis"! Hugs and Prayers.

Mitzi and Mr Bakunis family,
Mr Bakunis was one of our top notch teachers at. O.W.T.S , I was one of Mikes students in one of his first classes . Him and Tony Devito both new the real world in all situations which made them excellent educators, they taught what they knew which encompased learning reading, but most of all knowing how to make it work for each students personal needs then and through our lives. Mike was fair to all telling you what you needed to do ,not sugar coating his...

Mitzi and the Bakunis family, my condolences to you all. Mike was one of those teachers and person you actually learned from. I enjoyed his class and visiting him after graduation. I always enjoyed his expression "meat head"! Mike is an exceptional person. God Bless
