To the Ciriello Family - I played little league baseball with Mike. It was the very first year little league was played in Noyes Park in Orient Heights. When I married, and my wife saw my little league picture, she recognized Mike in the picture as being a Draper Lab employee as she was. Mike was a nice guy and our sincere sympathy is with the family. May he rest in peace with the lord.
Sincerely Joseph and Eleanor Guarino

Mike and I have been friends and co-workers at Draper Lab for over 25 years. He was an excellent teacher in the art of engineering and helped to guide many of my projects. Mike was a good friend, always willing to help others, giving of himself. Mike will be missed.

I am so sorry for your sudden loss. I can't imagine what your family is going through. I will keep you in my prayers.

I have so many fond memories of chatting with Mr. C in the kitchen and living room in West Roxbury while waiting for Jackie to come downstairs.
