Michael J. Valentine

Four years without Michael. He was my closest buddy and a great mentor . He always had something encouraging to say and I use the advice he gave me often. He loved his Bible study and I know he is in a better place now, giving antique boat rides in paradise and telling entertaining stories. There are not many people of his quality left, praying for his family to find peace and remember the many fun times with him, until we see him again.

May he continue to enjoy eternal peace and rest.

Mike was a close friend and an all around great man. We met about 15 years ago over our common interest in antique boats. He touched the lives of so many with his optimism and generosity. So many times I witnessed Mike help a friend, relative and even a stranger. I miss him and the world is a bit less friendly without him. He really loved his family , that was his main concern in life, keeping them safe and comfortable. Mike was a big success at many endeavors and I look forward to seeing him...

Dear Arlee, I have to admit I seldom read the obits, but happened to recently. I was greatly saddened to see that your Michael had passed on.
I am so very sorry for you , your sons, families and friends. A loss of a loved one is most difficult.
I extend my sincere sympathy to you and yours, and hope that good memories help to support and sustain you. Sincerely, Nancy Griffin Shadd

Arlee and family
Michael was a kind soul and all around great guy as I'm sure you know. I saw him reach out to both strangers and friends with help and encouragement. We had many deep conversations and just as many fun and silly ones. He will be missed by many and his legacy will live on through those he touched and helped! May you all be comforted by your happy memories and may Micheal Rest In Peace in heaven until we all see him again.

Arlee,
We were shocked to find that Michael had passed away. Our heartfelt condolences to you and his sons.

My memories of Michael are only fine ones, and his sense of humor made some of those times hilarious.

The time Michael and the rest of the parents all chaperoned the Scouts on a trip to the US National Military Park in Buffalo and we all spent an overnight in the WW II submarine, and the time we all camped at the Scout camp in the Finger Lakes, made for endearing...

Please accept my condolences at this time of grief. May God, who grants us all comfort, give you peace and strength during your time of need. Matthew 5 :4.

Arlee , I just learned of Michael's passing. I'm so sorry. I know you have many wonderful memories. I hope they are a comfort to you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Arlee and Family,So sorry to learn of Michael's passing. Fondly remember all of the get togethers on Orient Ave in Brooklyn. Thoughts and prayers are with you, your sons and Michelle
