Remembering you is not difficult Michael. Missing you is the hard part. Fly high my dear friend. Always, Tammy

Remembering you every day is not difficult Michael. Praying that you are managing and directing some wonderful event filled with your favorite animals. Missing you my dear friend! Hugs, Tammy

I worked at the Northwind museum. With a crew of about 8 guy´s I was a young carpenter apprentice. I remember it like it was yesterday. Bringing in the tugboat that the guy´s cut in half and fixing it to the front of the building. It was the summer of feisty the whale and Mike was a pretty big part of it all. He was a tough guy but his guy´s were all in love with him as were we all on the carpenters crew. A larger than life personality but a very loving guy underneath his gruff sometimes loud...

My memories of good times with Michael still make me smile. I miss our talks and your encouragement more than you know. I will always miss you my dear friend Tammy

Michael was my mentor in my early days of diving.. My life has followed his in many ways.. blue skies..

I met Mike in the early seventies bc of him I enlisted in The Army my Military Occupation was 82nd Airborne Infantry. We worked together in the basement in his Sheepshead Bay home making centerpieces for fish tanks.,Mike was the Toughest person I ever met... I met him and trained with him at the Shelton Health Club in the Bronx......

Michael I use to call you my brother. Sorry to hear of your passing. I'll always remember the bottle you sent me from the ocean. Say hello to my Son Dennis when you see him on the other side.

Dear Sharon and Family, I was heartbroken to learn that Mike had passed. I just now found out. I want to offer my deepest, albeit belated condolences to all of you. He had such a special and big, larger than life personality that it's hard to imagine a world without him in it.I know though that he will always be watching over all of you. He loved you all so very much. Fondly, An Old Friend, Ruthann Duval
