To Michael's sisters (my cousins) and his family: I am truly sorry for the passing of Michael. Saw him a few years ago at a brief reunion of the Janeski cousins at Marion's house. When I was a child, I would visit in the summer and spend a month with the family. He was always the baby who we four girls "took care of" when he was little. I will always remember when asked by anyone what his name was he would reply," Michael Vaccaro Hot Dog Bingo". He is at peace with the Lord now, no more sorrow, no more pain. Blessings and calm to the family. Love, June
