Michael NOVARESE

Michael was a gifted fashion designer, and was responsible for my beautiful wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses. Also flower girl and ring bearer outfits. 1976

My name is Michael Desjardins and I worked for Michael back in the 80s with Warren Caton. He was a mentor and someone I looked up to. He taught me so much of values and hard work.

Michael was a friend of the Salesians of Don Bosco. I was not a priest yet but was studying to be one. I am now. He helped us in so many ways it is highly laudable. He used to treat me so well. I love him. He is in heaven for all the good he did. I was privileged to have been his friend for such a short time.

I am so deeply sorry to hear of michael's passing. I thought of he
and robert so often and he was the kindest and sweetest of gentlemen, not to mention a fabulous talent. I learned so much from michael during our friendship and will always remember him
with great respect and happy thoughts, he was always so nice to
everyone, especially his chairities..god bless him always.

Mr. Novarese was a very talented and compassionate man. I had the pleasure of meeting him when I worked for Giba-Noblia in Beverly Hills, CA. His visits to our showroom and our collaborations with him at fashion shows were always enjoyable occasions. Rest in peace, Mr. Novarese.
