Uncle Mike, It's been 3 months and I still miss you a great deal. It doesn't seem the same without you when I visit my mom these days. I know you are looking down on all of us. Providing a laugh from time to time. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Love Diana

I am so sorry for your loss. I used to work for Dr. Procacci and mike and I would talk about how they were building up Aramingo ave , he was such a sweet man and I considered him a friend. I left Procacci's office over a year and a half ago but always wondering how michael was, then I saw his notice in the paper I was heartbroken. I will keep you in my prayers. God Bless!

I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet him and spend time in his company over the holidays. I found him to be witty, charming and thoroughly entertaining.



I hope your memories of happy times give you comfort as you go through this difficult time.
