Michael A. Perretta

After all these years, I still have a tear in my eye thinking about Michael and the wonderful man he was...

Oh how many years have gone by when I worked at Canastota PD and Mike was the Judge and I filled in as note taker/court reporter. We had a great friendship and I remember how kind and nice he was. We had office lunches together with his secretary and my friend Dorothy. We had many laughs when troopers brought people in for bail hearings. We had birthday partys and I remember his birthday was July 4th. I still to this day how he used to play with my son when he was so little. I remember him...

Michael was a man that we were privileged to know for a short time. We are very saddened to hear of his passing...

Andrea and Debbie, please belay my last. Just found out that your Mom had also passed away a while back. So sorry to hear that. I must have had her as my teacher for a couple of years at least. She always amazed me at how much she knew -- a very dedicated teacher. May God bless you two.

Andrea and Debbie and Mrs. P, sorry to hear about your Dad and sorry this note is so late, I just found out. He was a great asset to our town. I lost my Dad in 2006 and still miss him very much. Hope Mrs P is doing well-as a former student I can not call her Bette. She was a brilliant English teacher! Andrea, last I heard you were living in Italia. My prayers and condolences. God Bless.

So very sorry to hear of your loss. He was a wonderful man. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow.

Andrea and Debbie

I was very sorry to hear of your father's passing. I worked for him many years ago when I worked for the Canastota Police Dept. I was his court reporter. There was never a time that he didn't have a joke for me. No matter when I saw him, mostly in the post office, or just walking through town, I always wished him a happy birthday, July 4th. He was a very good friend and I will miss him.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of this fine man. God Bless.
