Mike and I sat next to each other in senior year typing. He hated the class and was not a great typist. We worked together to make sure he passed the regents exam that year. He was always very nice and kind to me.

At our 20th year reunion, he told me he worked on computers and “typed” for a living. We shared a good laugh.

My condolences to his family as I remember him as a kind and decent man.

Dear Aunt Phyllis and Linda,

We were very sorry to hear about Mike's passing. We just found out about it today so we weren't able to make the calling hours or the funeral. We did want you to know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers. Mike was a great guy. I can still remember just like it was yesterday when Mike and I were jumping up and down on my parents bed. It was a great time until we got caught. We had a lot of good times growing up. He will be missed.
Love,
Jack and Angie Niziurski

I cannot find the words to help ease the pain. Michael was a member of my family. He taught me how to drive. I'll never forget him telling me,"Don't worry about looking in the mirror(rear view), it doesn't matter who is behind you,just drive". Many laughs and memories. He was a great guy. He's left me with many memories.
God Bless

Even though he was my second cousin I felt as close to him as my first cousin.
Also a good friend. It was too bad we had to live so far away. I feel if we would have lived closer we would have seen more of each other.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
