Not sure what to say?

Mike Cerutti was a kind, smart, courageous principal. He was quite a fisherman. He will be missed!

Mike was one of the best men I have ever known, His integrity, patience, and tremendous support meant the world to me in the early years of my career at both McKelvey and Wren Hollow. I often compared him to my own Father, a principal, who had an impact and legacy. I am so sorry for your loss.

Deepest sympathy to Mike's family. I don't know of a better man!

Mike's way of life helped so many, including me. His example beckoned me to be better and showed me how to enjoy life more fully by being kind and loving to all.

Greg and I were both fortunate to work with Mike and loved having him as our principal. Mike was the most positive and encouraging person and always had a smile for every student and staff member. Mike's influence on both kids and adults was tremendous. We will remember him always.

I enjoyed making music with Mike over the last few years. He was a special person, and a talented musician. We will miss him greatly.

Mike was a very special man. May he R.I.P.

George and I were blessed to call Mike our friend as well as colleague. He was truly one of the best principals in Parkway, positively touching the lives of students, teachers and his peers. We enjoyed our friendship with Mike and Linda, knowing they found such happiness together. I hope George and Mike are together in Heaven, sharing memories of their years of service well lived. My prayers are with Linda and the entire family.

Mike gave me my start in Parkway by hiring me in 1979. He had a huge impact on my teaching career and life. He created a wonderful atmosphere for teachers by being supportive, patient and accepting. He took everything in stride. I always chuckle when I remember his major goal for the first day of every school year: Get em in, feed em, and get em out. Mike touched so many lives. I´m so blessed I was one of them.
