Thank you everyone for your kind and loving words. It's not good bye, it's see you when we get to heaven. My incredible loving husband was a gift from god given to our family and to all who knew him. We are all richer in life and in love, that we have had the chance to know such a wonderful friend, father, husband, brother and uncle. He always had a smile on his face and it shined in his eyes.

Mike and I were classmates back at Kenmore Junior and West more than 40 years ago. We crossed paths again at the Ken West football games 2 seasons ago where my son and his nephew were team mates. It was good seeing him after all those years. The funny thing is that we were living on the same street at opposite ends for quite awhile. May he be at peace.

Dear Manzella Family,
I'm saddened to hear of Michaels Passing. We were coppers together "back in the day." I always enjoyed our conversations about the "job" life and things Stereo. Rest in Peace my friend.
