Michael M. Rego

I ran into Kerry and Scott Rise last night and they informed me of the terrible news. Mike was larger than life. I think of Mike and all that comes to mind are smiles and laughter. It is a special person that can have that effect on so many. My prayers are with you Michael.

Michael-
You left us too soon. Your laughter from a thousand great times together still rings in my ears. And it is that same sound of laughter that assures me your spirit will never be forgotten by those who knew you, by those who loved you. It was an honor, my brother, to share those moments. Forever you will remain one-of-a-kind. Rest in Peace, my friend.

So sorry for your loss Jeanne, my prayer and thoughts are with you.

He was always there if you needed something. He will be missed by all that knew him. Of this, I have no doubt.

When Maureen (Gaffney) Lange called me with the news of Mike's passing it just didn't seem possible. As many have already expressed, Mike was truly larger than life. I knew him since days at Roosevelt grade school. He was genuinely kind to everyone and always had time to make you feel like the most important person in the world when talking with him. His smile and laugh will always be remembered. R.I.P. Mike. It was an honor knowing you.

I am so sad about Mike's passing...in seeing him at our 25th one year ago, his bright smile and friendliness had not changed one bit. The world has lost a gem...but heaven just became brighter. My heart and prayers are with his family and closest friends. Peace.

Oh my I am so very,very sorry to hear about Mike. It makes me so sad to think of the cute little boy that lived next door to us all those years. My sincere sympathy to all of you. Pat Marks

I have to say that it was so hard to read the e-mail that stated that the class of 86' had lost a friend. Life is just never long enough no matter the age that one is when they pass. I immediately had flash backs to seeing Mike, Scott, and Tony walking down the halls of Tosa East with their sports gear on. I remember Mike's smile, and his laugh. He was a team player...not just in sports but in life. My prayers are with his whole family in this time of loss. When one's life touches...
