As the Patriarch of the entire Kalajian family, Mike instilled in all of you how important family is and how everyone should enjoy each others company. I marvel at how all of you stay so close and realize that "Big Mike" was a very big part of creating that sense of family. Our heart felt sympathy to everyone, especially to his wife Seta and sons, Michael and Gary. Know that we miss him dearly and we will remember him often.

With love, the Chrysikos Family

Dear Seta, Michael and Gary

We are so saddened to learn of Mike's passing. He was an amazing man of so many talents. And he loved his family! So proud of all of you and his Armenian heritage. As a young inexperience dentist, i was so fortunate to have my office next to Precision Prosthetics. Mike took me under his wing and taught me so much about dentistry and life and will always be "Big Mike" to me. I am sure he is in heaven playing his beloved Oud and telling hilarious stories.....at a banquet. Please accept the most heart felt condolences of the entire Pallotta family. Misak we love you.

We are all deeply saddened by the passing of Uncle Mike. He was like a second father to me and Sevan; we only have warm, loving memories of him whom we have known since infancy. He was a monumental and highly inspirational figure in our lives, a giant of strength and endurance to us. We send our love and support to you during these difficult times, and we will be there to embrace you soon.

Love,
