Michael O. Light

Dear Mike, 17 years have passed and I still think about you often and especially when talking to people about Viacom and Cablevision. Not only did we grow up together in North Brentwood from Kindergarten to High School but you also gave me my first decent job back in 1985 at Viacom! That opportunity I will never forget. I wound up working there for 33 years and retired very comfortably in 2017 at 60 years old... Mike, you were a GREAT friend, you were a GREAT boss and just a really great guy...

It's really beginning to get very hard .. I miss you Uncle Mike .. I think of you every day and I still can't make sense of it ..

Uncle Mike:( the duct tape king)
Words cant describe how I am feeling right now. You are gone for almost 3 months and I am just now starting to miss you soo much. You were A Really special person to me and I will never forget the good times we had together. Someone once told me that God had a plan for all of us here on earth. I think your purpose was to show everyone what a nice person you were and will be remembered as. You always put everyone else first and I respect you for that. I...

Patty and family. Being down in Florida I feel so distant, but share in your pain as if I was there. I wish I could have been there to attend services for Mike. He was a great leader of people and I learned much from him over the years when I worked for him. He turned into a trusted friend and always supported his team. I'm know he was that way in his personal life with Patty and the children as well. I know he has left quite a legacy behind, and the fact that so many cared about him is a...

My deepest sympathy to Patty and her boys also to Mikes mother and his siblings.
I was a neighor of Mikes back on Hewes st. in Brentwood, right across the st. he was a few yrs. older and always looked out for me, I looked up to him as my protector. Mike and all the kids on the block would always play hockey & baseball. He was always there to coach the younger kids. You could always count on Mike to either start up a game or be called on and participate. As a child I always remembered how...
