If only thoughts could remotely describe ones feelings, it would be so much easier to share the depth and love we have for this wonderful, sincere, compassionate AND fun-loving friend. Blessed are all that have crossed his path.

I had the pleasure of working with Mike at Tunxis. I remember him as a refreshingly down-to-earth guy with a wicked sense of humor, and I'll miss our discussions of politics and of life in general. I could not admire more the courage with which he faced his fate.

I have many happy memories of Michael, Denise, Fallon & Aylssa when I worked as a lifeguard at Mattabasset.

Michael was always quick with a smile, and could brighten up your worst day.

I hope you all share your happy memories during this time of grief.

I hope this poem brings some comfort at this difficult time.

"Welcome Home"

I thank you for the love you each have shown, but now it is time I travel alone.

Do grieve a while for me if you must, then let your grief be comforted by trust.

It's only for a while that we must part, so keep our memories within your hearts.

I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near. And my love around - so soft and dear.

When you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile

and say, "Welcome Home."

Thoughts and prayers are with you at this time

I may not have a chance to tell all members of the family my thoughts, so please accept this meager substitute. Michael was one of my favorite people from whom I learned so much. It was a honor to work with him for the short time we had. Not only did he make a tremendous difference at Tunxis through the work that he did on behalf of our students, he also impacted the lives of the staff through his work ethic, his intelligence, and his good humor. I am so grateful that our paths crossed and that he was my friend.
