Uncle Mike--Some of my best memories are of having ribs with the famous "Uncle Mike's Sauce" in the backyard and giving the bones to old Willie. Thanks so much for the cradle, and for all the special memories. I love you Uncle Mike.

Uncle Mike--Thank you for all the wonderful and lovely memories.When I'm feeling down I will pull up all the special memories and relieve the special times we had. Santa Cruz-the Big Dipper and the Tide Pools-hiding the money and finding it the next year;I will always cherish the cradle where my two girls spent their first 3 months sleeping-(and I had the first tall one);the Giants game when I found you thanks to the infamous BALD head;the bathroom stop on my way home from a long trip;the Bar-B-Que dinners and the years of unconditional love and acceptance from you when I was made a part of your family because my mother married your brother-in-law. You are my favorite Uncle because you made me feel special and loved. I will always treasure that love.

For everyone who loved Papa, I hope the memories are those of happiness and love. He was the most giving person I have known. The most precious thing I have taken from his life is the ability to love others from my heart and have learned that to be a giver is so much more rewarding than to be a taker. Papa has given his love, charity, and kindness to all the lives he has touched. I hope during this sad time and beyond, that we all take away a piece of that giving spirit and spread his love through our hearts in honor of him... God Bless this man who has blessed so many. We will love you always, Papa. Rest in Peace.
