Aggie, Marie, Ralph and Family,

I was so sorry to hear of the loss of Michael. He was such a special person and I fondly remember our times in the old neighbor growing up with him.

He was the smarest and brightest guy I know. He will be sorely missed.

Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I know he is up there with my brother Michael looking down upon us and sending their love and guidance. There is another angel in heaven!

With great compassion we join our niece Cindy, her husband Chris, and daughter Katie in their sorrow. Mike was a major part of their lives and his passing will leave a great void.

I had the opportunity to work with Mike at Wyeth, and he taught me a lot about keeping your perspective on things. When developing systems solutions there are always changes, and when I would call and appologize for the 100th change he would say, "no problem. Changes mean I will be hear tomorrow and the next day." Most developers would get frustrated. Not Mike...it was all in a days work. I'd like to say, that part of him will always be with me.

I'd like to send my condolences to Mike's family. He will be greatly missed.

Knowing Mike meant that you shared in his happiness and it left a permanent impression. He was a very special person and will stay permanently in the hearts of those whose lives he touched. He will be missed and always remembered.

Dear Grillo Family and Loved Ones,
I am so very sorry for your loss, Mike was a very close old friend of mine from when we both were at the Cancer Center. We shared many laughs and both had a love of good wine, garlic and Indian food! His intellect, humor and independent soul are things I will remember him for always. I am deeply saddened by his death, and pray you all find peace in the memories he has created for us all.
With Love,
Heather McDanel

Dear Grillo Family & Loved Ones,

My prayers and sincerest sympathies go out to you at this very difficult time.

I just wanted to say that Mike was a very special person who touched more lives than he probably realized. He was never
afraid to speak his mind, but he always approached situations from a place of kindness and compassion. Though I only knew him for a short time, I learned a lot from him. He will be missed and remembered with great fondness.

Quizzo nights sure won't be the same without you, Mike.

God bless,

November 12, 2008
