Dear Kathleen, we just learned of Mike's passing. We have lost a saint ! He was such a valiant fighter over the years and you too were a wonderful, loving support for him in every respect. Despite his challenges, when he came to the office he was always smiling. Indeed, that is a good lesson for all of us. While the holiday period is the absolute worst time of year to deal with the loss of a loved one, our best medicine has been to call upon great memories. You surely have many from your fortunate life with Mike. And, of course, Mike's spirit will never leave you. With love and sincerest wishes, John and Mary Cheryl

Dear Kathleen and Loved Ones,
There are no words that could heal your pain. But words have power, and I hope these words will inspire faith, hope, and love. Mike was such an amazing person. He was genuine and honest. He let you have it, all of it, and made you laugh in the process. It was an honor to know him. He was a champion of fighting tough battles. Countless battles, and stayed optimistic and determined in the process. Knowing Kathleen and Mike for almost 10 years, I got to see how beautiful and resilient their love is for each other. Their love story is a true testimony of God's good work here on Earth. I feel so grateful to know them. I'm sending love and prayers to the whole family, and will cling to all of those fun-filled memories of Mike. With love and sincere heartache, Eve

Uncle Mike ( Uncle Schnoodles as Mila would say) your life was a blessing. Your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure.
Thank you for all the wonderful memories and most importantly for taking my husband under your wing and giving him the gift and opportunity to learn to hunt.
We love you always!
Love the Averoff Family

Mike was such a sweet guy, always a smile on his face. I loved seeing him and Kathleen at the many gatherings I attended at Becky and Kenny’s house. He was so upbeat even with his pain. I will surely miss him. But I know he is in Heaven and I will see him again.

Kathleen, Ron & I were so sad to read of Mike's passing. Although we have not seen you guys in quite a few years, we shared many laughs and great times with you both. I am sure Ruby was there in Heaven waiting for him. Always remember, "Those We Love Don't Go Away, They Walk Beside Us Every Day" Sending you our Deepest Sympathies and Love.

‘The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy’. Mike epitomized this famous quote. Especially so over these last several years. And time and time again, he rose to the occasion in his humble but charming way. A lover of nature, hunting, fishing, gatherings, story-telling, and yesthe occasional ‘celebratory’ cocktail or two. He was ‘as good as they get’. Even though we were separated by thousands of miles, and only saw each other occasionally throughout the years, our friendship and respect for one another was as comfortable as an old worn glove. Always enjoyed his point of viewon everything! With that wry smile and glint in his eye, he could always pull it off. His love for Kathleen and his family was rock solid. When my father (Ray) passed away some 20+ years ago, Mike and Kathleen, along with (partners in fun) Susie and Genie, were there for my Mother (Joan) and affectionately called her ‘Aunt Edna’. They had a blast together. Our family is eternally grateful for that. Mike, we will miss you Dear Friend, but comforted to know that you are now at rest and in a good place. Your spirit will live on forever in the many hearts you touched. Thanks for the memories! Our love and condolences to Kathleen, Susie, Genie, and the whole family. Chris and Lori Stevens - Winnipeg, Canada.

I am so saddened by this news. Joe has kept me informed. I am including a poem for Alexas funeral that Fr Banet shared with me. It speaks to me.
To the living, I am gone;
To the sorrowful, I will never return;
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace;
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
Remember me.
Remember me in your heart,
In your thoughts, and your memories
Of the times we loved,
The times we cried,
The times we fought,
The times we laughed.
For if you remember me and think of me,
I will never have gone.

I am so sad to hear of Mike's passing. I was born and raised next door to the Hittles on Southern Ave in Indianapolis, so much of my life as a child involved playing with Mike and his sisters. Mike was a great kid. He enjoyed playing with all the kids in the neighborhood. Mike and his family meant a lot to me growing up. My prayers are with Kathleen and the family.

You and Kathleen were the very first friends Kenny and I made when we moved to Florida. Friends who became family. You've been there for every important event in our lives over the past 35 years. You've been the most loyal friend a friend could have. You've been a brother to Kenny. You've been Uncle Mike to Emily and Hunter. I will be forever grateful for the countless memories made and the love and laughter you brought into our lives. It's been hard seeing you struggle, but until the end you never lost your sense of humor. I'm sure going to miss you, but it's comforting to know you're at peace now with your heavenly family, watching over us. We will meet again. Love you, Mikey.

Mikey Dean was so much like his dad, not only in looks but in his humor. I hated the pain that he went through the last years with his back and then this. He was a fighter. May he rest in peace. I’ll bet he is having a beer with his dad right now. Prayers and hugs for you Kathleen and the rest of the family. Words cannot express how sorry Bob and I are for your loss.

That smile! Kathleen, when I think of Mikey Dean all I can say is "what a nice guy" he was. The past 13 years had been a struggle for him but I know you and he would not have traded them for anything. Words cannot say how sad I am for you and all of us who knew him. You have my most sincere condolences for the loss of your beloved.

I know you are at peace now and your struggles are over. I knew the last time I saw you that it was not an I'll see you later it was a goodbye. Over our 50 years of friendship / brotherhood that was one of the worst days of my life. Knowing that you are no longer suffering, the great memories we share and knowing you are another angel looking down on us will eventually help me get through this sorrow I'm feeling until we meet again.
I Love you Mike
