Michael Joseph Riedinger

I'm stunned and saddned to hear Mike has passed! I dated his middle son and new the entire family and I hope if they read this to please know, even though it's been years I am here for all of you guys!! Mike was a good man and always treated me like one of his own kids. He will be missed!

Mike contributed so much to the youth of St John's parish. We always have attend the Christmas Eve mass and the play before that is done by the teens. Our daughter Kathleen played different parts over the years and it will always hold a special place in her heart and ours. Your family is in our thougths and prayers.

I am the tennis hostess at Broadstone Racquet Club and I always enjoyed when Mike came to play, he was always upbeat and joking around. Mike was so kind to everyone and I will always remember Mike as someone who had a passion for the game, but his fellow players always came first. He will be missed.

The Perez family is ever grateful for the generosity and enthusiasm with which Mike inspired each of us. Through the gifts of music and faith Mike has always ingnited the fire of faith in our family. Thanks be to God for giving us and our parish such an awesome bearer of His holy light.

I will remember Mike for his great musical contribution to St. Johns church and his dedication to the teens. I also remember him for his sense of humor,especially when he made "I survived 4th grade" certificates for all the 4th grade parents at the end of the school year with me. Rock on in heaven, Mike!

I remember Mike as a kind and patient person, even if we were singing off key. I will always cherish the memories of him and the folk group singing at my wedding. His family are in my prayers.

A special thanks for the family for sharing such a great person with our community and Church. He brought more than a business sense to the chamber but a wonderful personal gift of himself and his sharing. He made such a great difference with our youth at St. John, too. Sunday evenings will not be the same. Thank you for sharing him with all of us!
