Mike and his family are always in my heart. Jackie Carver

His brother John´s wife Christine was the best friend of my best friend´s mom Rosemary DeKlotz so that´s how I got to know the Kennedy family through her I remember going to their house for family pizza gatherings after we sang Christmas songs along w/the Walshes who are my aunt cousins and uncle thru adoption cause of their niece Thu-Anne

I always enjoyed your sense of humor. Also, the times we ran with the kids from school to Mt. Tabor and back. Good memories... Thanks

Mr. K was my block and math teacher at East Sylvan. I spent half my days as a 6th grader with him, and I couldn't have asked for a more special guy to spend that odd time in life with. He was the most kind, caring, helpful, hilarious and sassy dude. Always there with a helpful hand and some red vines. My deepest condolences to his family, who he loved and talked about all the time. RIP Mr. Kennedy, the greatest teacher of all time.

Mr. Kennedy was my Home Room teacher at Kellogg Middle School. He made my life barrable during a very difficult time. I will never forget his kindness, his concern, his humor, his love of teaching. He let me take a black and white photo of him as I was in photography. It captured his amazing smile and animated movements that I just loved about him. Thank you Mr. Kennedy for everything you were to us all. Rest In Peace.

Mr. Kennedy took a few of us students from his seventh grade class to see The Elephant Man in the movie theater. On a Saturday. He took time from his weekend to teach kids about empathy by showing it. A lesson that has stuck with me in life. Thank you Mr. Kennedy.

My condolences to his family and loved ones. Mr. Kennedy was my teacher for calligraphy and his lovely wife Mrs. Kennedy was my homeroom teacher at Kellogg. He had great stories and always smiled.

Mr. Kennedy was such a great teacher to me. Back at Kellogg I had him for Reading, Math, and Calligraphy. He had a great sense of humor and was always happy and had a great jokes.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Mike. When I read about his passing the first thing that came to me was his humor and how he made us happy being around him in our days at Serra. Thank you Michael for being you! RIP
