Pete and Marie,
Please accept my deepest sympathies. Mike and Chris were a constant presence in my parents' home during their " St. John's, Mooney and beyond years". My, now, adult children, remember them as their other uncles. I know Mike is in heaven with Peter Joe so you now have two guardian angels watching over you. You and your family are in my prayers

Roncone Family, I am very sorry about Mike's passing. I went to St. John's with Mike and saw him occassionally after I graduated from college, in the early 80's. Mike was always smiling and upbeat. I have very fond memories of Mike. My thoughts and prayers are with Mike's family during this very difficult time.

My condolences to Mike's family, I know he will be missed. I was one of Mike's "stepchildren" but to him we were all his "kids". That is how he described us. He was more of a father than anyother man in my life and for that I he will be in my heart forever. He was a great man, a kind man and I will miss him greatly. I know that he is in heaven with my mother, his soulmate from his own words, and he is at peace. I know he is looking down on his family and friends and goofing around as always. I love you Mikey and I miss you.

To the Roncone Family,
I am so very sorry about Mike's passing. He was such a great friend to many, a good brother and father. I will remember him most from his being around our house a lot as teenagers, and the many laughs and crazy times that were had. And he was always ready for a joke, a laugh, or an adventure. My thoughts, prayers and memories are with you all.

I was only BLESSED enough to be a part of Mike's life for three years, but those three years will live on in my heart and soul FOREVER just like Mike will. I use to call Mike my big "boog" because he reminded me of a big teddy bear and that's exactly what he was. He was the kindest man I have ever meet and I am so glad that I at least had him for a short time in my life, even if it was way too short. I will love you for always Mike and you will NEVER leave my thoughts. We will see each other again I know that in my heart. I love you. Yvonne

Went to school with Mike at Mooney. As the years went on whenever he would see me he would always come up and give a big hug and smile. He never forgot a face. His personality and enthusiasm will be missed May the lord bless and keep you. You were taken too soon.

My deepest sympathies to the entire Roncone Family.
I went to high school with Mike and though I have seen him only infrequently since then, I still picture him from his football days, wearing the Varsity sweater in the Mooney halls like it was yesterday. My condolences to the whole family. I wish you peace and blessings in his passing.

Mike, Chris and Marybeth were my students at Cardinal Mooney more than 30 years ago. Mike, may the angels lead you into Paradise. And may those same angels guide the rest of us safely home until, at the last, we are reunited with you and with all those we’ve loved who wait for us and watch over us.

Mike was my little cousin growing up together in Rochester. We had some great times at old Red Wing stadium and going out to the clubs and bars. Who could forget our fishing trips at Sodus Point and all the holidays we spent together at grandmas house when we were young. I will miss my cousin forever and I loved him like a brother. When I was coaching football at Clyde Savannah he would always call and want to know about the team and would always show up at the preseason scrimmage to evaluate my team. Mike no one had a bigger heart than you and I will miss you. Your cousin Johnny
