Michael G. Muro

I met Michael through his parents and my dear friends, Mary Jane and Jim. I knew upon meeting him why they were so proud of him. He was so kind and caring to his parents that his loss to them must be very difficult to bear. Please call and write to them because they need everyone's support in this trying time.

I'm sorry I was not able to attend Mike's memeorial service. I have sent a contribution to Samaratan Hospice in Mike and Karen's names on behalf of myself and Midwest Clinical Support, Inc. Mike was a great person, business collegue and good friend of mine. I will miss him very much.

I am signing this guest book on behalf of our family at etrials Worldwide, as I have known Michael, and competed against him, for 10+ years. Although a competitor by day, who was of the highest moral character, out of work he was one of the nicest people in this industry. I spent time speaking with Michael following the passing of his wife, as he and I experienced tragic losses at the same time in our lives. It was so refreshing to hear in the past year that he was finally beginning to...

I have known Michael through business for the past 7 years. Although I never worked with him directly, we kept in touch on a regular basis. My personal experience and his reputation was tremendous. Michael was one of these people that if you ever mentioned his name to anyone who knew him, they had nice things to say about him both personally and professionally. Recently, I had spoken to and met with Michael and was very pleased to hear that he was doing well. Everyone here at Bio-Imaging...

My dad, who still lives in Harrisburg, told me today about Mike's passing. My sincerest sympathies to Mike's wife and entire family.

When we were in grade school, my fondest memory of Mike is when he introduced me to the song "Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison. In high school, in addition to playing in the school band, I played in a band called "The Motivations". Mike was always there for us, encouraging our efforts. Ironically, I'm still making music with my friends and we still play...

I knew Mike through business and was fortunate to also meet Karen through our friendship outside of work. I still remember when Mike and I first met years ago when he worked at eRT and I worked at a pharmaceutical company. Mike understood how to "partner" and get to a win-win. I will miss our monthly calls to update each other on what's new. My heart goes out to his parents and brother.

I have known Mary Jane and Jim for many years. My heart goes out to them both at the loss of one of their beloved children. Although I had only been introduced to Michael in recent years, I know that he holds a special place in his parents hearts and I can only imagine the pain his loss has caused them. I hope that they find some solace in knowing that they raised a wonderful loving son. I know this because they have mentioned him often.

Mary Jane and Jim...

I hear this news with great shock, and immediate sympathy for the Muro family, who has had to bear so much. Dear Mike, who always laid down the rules of backyard ball games, who was always older, smarter, and the leader in the neighborhood. We can imagine a beautiful garden in the world beyond where he and Karen will always be together.

Tonight, one of my oldest friends, Patricia (Kovach) Sprandle, called to tell me about Michael, whom we both knew as a dear classmate at St. Catherine Laboure Elementary School.

Michael is someone I would never forget, if I lived to be 400 years old. In 7th & 8th grade he and I, and my cousin Cynthia, were buddies and spent a lot of time 'hanging out' together at school. He was one of our favorite classmates, and in our 8th grade year, part of a close knit class of youngsters who...
