Ellen, I cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear of Mike's passing. He was a wonderful friend and a true delight to be around. We had many a laugh and good time together...he was my best audience...I will miss him dearly. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and Susan.

Uncle Bill,

You will be greatly missed. I hope you get to deliver mail to my mother. You would get along great with her. I love you Uncle Bill; you are one of the nicest people I know. Love your adopted niece, Susan Nicolosi. I only wish we knew each other better. I'm sure you are tired of everything that you have endured.

Love Susan

Mike was our mailman in the 1960s and 1970s. He knew all the parents and kids in the neighborhood. As kids, we were fascinted that he was known as Bill and Mike. Years later, I saw him in Salem and was amazed that he connected the face of a kid in the neighborhood to a now grown adult....and he remebered all the details of many years ago.
