Not sure what to say?

Mike was a great person on every level and an even better friend. He will be sincerely missed and never forgotten.

I'm so glad I was able to reconnect with Mike this year - and it only confirmed that Mike truly was one of the good guys. My heart aches for all his family and friends - of which there were so many.

Mike was my friend and neighbor for 25 years. He was a fabulous guy with a great heart, a superb sense of humor and and all round top notch man. Hes passing is so incredibly sad.

Mike Whitey was proud of his fraternity Pi Kappa Phi and his grade school St Joseph's School In Warrington, PA. Whitey had a strong loyal conviction to his beliefs and friends from what I witnessed.

I remember how proud he was when only he and I knew the meaning of the Immaculate Conception while debating with fellow fraternity brothers. He was so insistent and proud of that knowledge. He attributed that to our education legacy of St Joseph's. We were fraternity roommates in 1983...

I worked with Mike at Drexel for many years. We became friends and spent many nights hanging out at the faculty club and occasional lunches and some fun group nights out dancing on Delaware Ave. The world is a little less fun without him.

Mike blessed me with his friendship over the past twenty years and is the closest person to a sibling. There are people we are fortunate to have in our lives who help us be better people, place others before themselves and strive to find the positive in everyone. Mike was that person and the world is a lesser place without him.

Selfishly, I'm grateful to have spent time with him and Marie a few weeks ago and spoke with him briefly last week to share he is loved and always will be.
