Mike, My all of God's Love keep you happy in HEAVEN. I miss you here a lot. I finally talked to your father. He recognized me lol. I told him how if it weren't for you. I wouldn't be as athletic or strong . You taught me so much besides sports. You taught me what it's like to be a friend. I bring you up many times in conversations with ppl. Because I want them to know how much of a great friend your were to me.

My deepest sympathy on the loss of a great friend to me. I only came to know the loss of Michael a week ago from a friend of ours from years ago.I am very sorry that this has happened and that I didnt find out sooner. My apologies are extended to the whole family of Michael's. Michael was a inspiration to me, I met him when we were in high school. He showed me so much as only a friend can.

I learned to play, enjoy,and admire sports because of him. Michael is a brother to me in every aspect of the word. Our lives crossed at the right time. Michael was very kind hearted, caring, and Very funny! His APPETITE amazed me! Mike had the knack of making a game of catch a sporting event. We both enojoyed alot of the same interests. Michael was a friend to all and will be sadly missed. Mike will remain in my heart, thoughts and prayers each passing day. I can still feel him smiling and it makes me smile knowing he is Our Guardian Angel.

Your Friend Always,

Rod

To the Peluso Family,

When I returned back home, I was informed that Michael passed away. I was in shock! I worked at 948 Main Street with Michael and we discussed on a daily bases all the Yankee news, not only that but about his comic book collections. When my son would come to visit, Michael would always stop and talk to him about his favorite team. Even if the Yankees lost he still cheered them on saying "thats ok, we're going to make it! Michael was always smiling and anything you asked of him he would do. My prayers are that the Lord will uplift you through this difficult time bring you peace.

Mike and I became very good friends over the past 3 years (I also work at 948 Main St.) and he will truly be missed by many people, including myself. Over the years, Mike became like an older brother to me and his shocking and sudden passing has been very hard on those who knew him!

Dear Jerry n Linda

I am sorry for your lost of your son. I met Mike while I attended Luis Munoz Marin School when I was 12 years old and he was a very great guy to hang around with. I was very close to him along with my mother Lourdes Rivera. We always talk about the yankees and he took me to my very first Yankee game back in 1999 when they faced the mets at Shea Stadium we had a great time. My thoughts n prayers go out to you and your family at this sad time God Bless You. I will miss you Mike.(Let's Go Yankees)

"He who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man."

-Antoine de Saint-Exupery-

This seems so surreal to me. I used to see Mike everyday because I work in Dr. Dworkin's office at 948 Main Street. I remember I was talking to Mike on Friday and he was telling me about how he was going to get another tattoo. He was showing me the picture of what it was going to look like because he said it was going to be of Jaws. He was so excited about it. He told me that he was going to leave work early on this Monday and on Tuesday I would see him with his new tattoo. Unfortunately, I never got to see his new tattoo that he was talking about because when I came into work on Monday I found out that he died over the weekend. I was so shocked because I used to see him everyday and he told me that I would see him on Tuesday and I never thought that would be the last time I would ever see him again. That goes to show that life is so short and precious and death comes so unexpectedly. Tomorrow is not promised to you. Mike always made me smile and he will truly be missed. The Peluso family will always be in my prayers.
