So sorry to be seeing this now. Mike was a funny classmate and decent person, even when creating chaos and laughter. So sorry for the family and his friends.

Michael fought this terrible disease with such dignity. I have been truly inspired by Michael's ability to retain his sense of humor as he faced greater pain and loss than I can imagine. It was bittersweet sharing so many memories about Michael yesterday, but I think he would have been pleased at the many laughs that resulted.

I was a classmate of Mike's at Pollard Jr High School and Needham High School. I was very saddened to learn of his passing. My deepest sympathies go out to the Alessi family.

The Alessi Family
Michael was a dear friend and colleague. His smile would light up our world and his funny pranks were memorable. He thought of himself as the screen star, Steven Saigale (sp)...but, he had more charm, looks, and intelligence...than he gave himself credit. Everyone he touched will miss him.....especially...Joyce Ripley, Dick Costa, David Boucher and Eileen McCarthy (all from his D&B days).

My deepest sympathy to Michael's family and friends. It was a privaledge to care for Mike at Newton Health Care. Michael was always a pleasure to care for and could always make us laugh with all his stories. God Bless

The saddest and most wonderful journey was my lifelong friendship with Mickey...countless adventures, perpetual laughter, and the occasional chivalrous rescue from whatever chaos that had presented itself. I probably should have married him, but why wreck such a great freindship?? Love and sympathy to the Alessi's. P.s. miss u Joe!
