Hello Pat,
Just thinking of Mike as I sit in front of my fireplace in Cambridge. He is thought of often and I remember you calling him every morning he spoke highly of his family and that has always made me enjoy Mike and his talk of his bride, children in daughters in law. I hope that all is well and enjoy Christmas and have a healthy happy New Year. Respectfully,
Eddie O´Callaghan Jr.

Dear Ann and Family,
My family was so saddened to learn of Mike's passing. He has been my friend and inspiration (as well as my barber extraordinaire since I had my first haircut as a child until he retired). His advice to me, regardless of the topic, was always spot-on. Mike's generosity, kindness, compassion, humor, devotion to people, and incredible strength of character will remain forever our hearts.
We all send our condolences and love to all of you.
Love, David, Elina, Karen Jo, and Steven

Dear Ann and Family, We here on Frye Island were shocked to hear of Mike's passing. How we will miss him! He always had a kind word for us and when he arrived for the first time in the spring, I always got a hug from him. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. When I pass by the Town ball field I will always think of Mike sitting on his boys memorial bench. John Crosby, Town of Frye Island Public Works Department.

To the Family of Mike Cogliandro,
It was with great sadness that I read of Mike's passing this morning. Mike first cut my hair 56 years ago. He was my Dad's barber and friend and he was also my son's barber. Caring, warm, loving and a great friend to my family. He always spoke of his family with pride and respect. He was a friend to many of us here in Cambridge but I was always made to feel a small part of Mike's family. He adored you Mrs. Cogliandro and was so lucky to have you for a wife. I was frequently his first customer at the Cambridge Barber shops from Dunster St. to both Mass. Ave shops. He would always wait for his phone call from Pat in the morning to check in on him. It would bring a smile to his kind face and make him proud. Mike did not need money to make him wealthy for he had "riches" any man could want - his family. I'll treasure his friendship and memories all the days of my life.
Ed O'Callaghan Jr. on behalf of my Dad, my son and my family.

Dearest Ann and Family,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy, love and condolences. Over the last few years, Mike and Ann have become so very dear to me and to my grandson. It was always a pleasure to stop and spend time getting to know you. We as neighbors and friends are here for you always and if there is anything you need please let us know. Mike will always have a special place in our hearts and remembered very fondly. He was a very kind and loving man. If everyone treated people as Ann and Mike do, what a wonderful world that would be.
God Bless Ellen and Little Freddie

Dearest Ann and Family,
Please accept our heartfelt sympathy and condolences. Mike was so much more than just our friend. He was a second father and life "advisor" to Peter and a grandfather figure to our son Lee. Both Mike and Ann were there for us (as we know they were for all their loved ones): at our wedding, at our daughter's wedding, and most recently, last year at our 40th wedding anniversary. We are all so grateful to have had Mike in our lives and will remember him always with love. There is a special place in heaven for him; and we know he is there now with his characteristic humor and a smile on his face. God Bless you all. Peter and Pam Scantalides, Lee, Mary and Artemis.

Dear Ann, Mike's "second family" were his customers in Cambridge over the many years of his work there, not only as a barber of the first order of excellence, but as friend and adviser. Along with Mike's first family, we join you in sadness at his passing. We'll miss Mike even as we recall the many times of good friendship we enjoyed together, but we can celebrate having been enriched ourselves as a part of his good life.
