Michael R. Cortese Sr.

Mike and Tony,
I am sorry to hear of your father's passing. I just found out (7 Jan 05) from an email sent by Sheri Wemette Valle to her list of '74 graduates. Please accept my condolences in this time of sorrow.

I was very disheartened to find out of the passing of Mike. Mike and I worked together for 30 years starting at N. Syracuse. We were very good friends with Mike and Lee and saw them when we visited our son during trips back to New York in the summer. They were two of the nicest people we ever knew. We will miss them both very much and our hearts and prayers go out to both of them and their children.

tony , meg and family ,
sorry for your loss,

Dear Mike and Tony,
I just found out about your Dad and I am so sorry for your loss. I know he was having a difficult time after his surgery . Know that that both of you and your families will be in my prayers. Sincerely, Stephanie

Sorry to hear about Michael---he was a great man and an excellent "mentor" for me during my entire stay at Cicero and CNS. Fortunately for the two of us I spent a few hours talking with Mike at the store during the summer. I really looked up to your father and respected him as a leader , teacher, mentor, and friend. Will have him and all you kids in my prayers throughout these tough times. Enjoy your children as you know that he enjoyed all of you. Love, Dennis Matyko

Tony and Meg,
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

TONY AND MEG,
I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. MAY YOUR MEMORIES BE CHERISHED AND THE PRAYERS OF FRIENDS HELP YOUR HEARTS HEAL.
IF YOU NEED ANYTHING PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK.
KARIN AND KEN LEBLOND
