Michael Joseph Tulumello

I just read about Mike's passing; I'm so sorry. I didn't really know Mike very well but he was in my journalism/newspaper class at McClintock HS in 1971-72 school year. I knew him as "The Sports Writer" for the school newspaper, "The Guidon," I think was the name of it. Throughout the years I'd see his name pop up every now and then and I'd think back to that high school journalism class. Again, my condolences.

So sorry for your loss, Kathy. Mike was always a great reporter and a good guy. I do remember when he had those curls.

I knew Mike when I worked at the Tempe Daily News and he was with the Mesa Tribune. He was good reporter. More importantly, he was a good Fella.

I attended journalism school at ASU and worked on the State Press when Mike was there. Although I really didn't know him well, I was impressed he always was there to get the reporting job done. Sympathies to his family. -- Jerry Porter

Mike, what happened to all that bushy, curly black hair that used to protrude out from under the baseball cap in The Republic newsroom?

I was just a clerk, but you were full of energy and great journalistic spirit. You'll always be remembered that way.

Mike was one of those guys that just kept showing up at every newspaper I worked at -- Tribune Newspapers and then The Arizona Republic.

I just want to know what happened to all that big, black bushy hair that used to protrude out over the ears, under the baseball cap?

You're gone too early. Will miss you.

I am so sorry for your untimely loss, Michael was truly loved by many. May you cherish fond memories to cope with the pain from day to day. Take note of the comforting words at 1Thessalonians 4:14, the beautiful hope of seeing your loved one again.

I am so sorry for your loss Kathy and for your sons. I attended grade school with Mike at Saint Agnes. When he was newspaper editor at McClintock High School senior year I was Yearbook editor at Gerard High School. Although we hardly spoke to each other after high school it was his friendship with him in grade school that made the most impact with me. We would ride our bikes to his house after school and talk. He always treated me kindness & respect when other classmates did not. After...
