MICHAEL F. MERANDO

I also have great memories of our visits with Uncle Mike. Loved playing in the basement and the silver dollars you gave us at every visit. You are loved by many and missed by all of us.

You will be deeply missed as we enjoyed spending time with you. Today was a very sad day but we know your looking down on us now.

There are so many fond memories I have of this great man. Tulip Street, Rhawn, Pierre, Cigars, his basement, the deli, your parents home, your siblings and lastly Creekwood Drive. Growing up I looked forward to the times we could spend together. Uncle Mike you will always be in my heart. I know Nana is with you enjoying her favorite son-in-law. God bless you Uncle Mike.

I have many great memories of visits to Uncle Mike and Aunt Eleanor's house- he always had spare change to surprise us with and playing in his basement was so much fun. Hopefully he is walking his poodle and smoking a cigar right now and playing a round of golf, too. He will be missed.

This is one of my favorite photos of Uncle Mike, dancing with our daughter in 1999. I have such wonderful memories of Uncle Mike. I adored him as a child and admired him as an adult. He was always a kind and caring man. I will carry your memory in my heart forever. Until we meet again Uncle Mike...Godspeed Love, Kathie, John & Marissa
