Michael Kissel

Wow - May 5: My Mom's birthday. The date my beloved wife Rhonda passed in 2007. And the my best friend Michael Kissel left us. My heart goes out to Elena and the girls, whom I'm sure still have the Kiss in their hearts.

Still missing you Mike... Thanks for everything.

Hey Mike,
I wish you were still around. It turns out our weekend in Pittsfield had surprising consequences that neither of us suspected. I’m sure you’d get a kick out of them!
And, go figure, Galvin has ended up living just down the road from me. We’ve enjoyed a couple of baseball games together and your name always comes up and always brings a smile with it.
Not long now, so until such time
Lots of love
Kip

I was thinking of you just the other day. Many different memories came up, notably our fun trip to Pittsfield all those years ago! I expect to think of you off and on until I join you. Hang in there, good Buddy, not long now! Until such time....much love

My deep sympathy goes out to Michael's amazing wife Elena and their beautiful girls. I was blessed to have been a babysitter for this fun family many years ago in Newport. I have so many fond memories of Michael loving and enjoying his girls. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Michael's girls and his soul mate, Elena. An adoring father and wonderful man. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Know one thing, heaven will be filled with song,laughter and love now that your father sits as its cherib.

Mike Kissel was an incredible man. He gave me a chance to work for him in Jan 2005 when no one else would.

My biggest regret with Mike is that he never released his dream album "Naked Sacred".

You were sacred Mike... always will be...

God Bless You Fam... Rest In Power.

Peace

Dear Elena, Siena, Lucy and Rosalie,

I am very sorry for your loss. Mike was a wonderful fellow who touched all with his good humor and sheer love of life. He will be missed by everyone.

My love and prayers are with you,

From our first days at Chase Tennis Camp in the 1960s and later growing up in Baltimore, Mike and I were close friends. I loved his free spirit and unerring charm, the latter derived from both of his parents.I am deeply saddened at his premature passing. My thoughts are with his wife and daughters at this difficult time.
