He will be missed by all of us here at the Franklin hospital. He always had a smile on his face no matter how bad he felt. He was a joy to care for. I always looked forward to seeing him during his CT scans.

Jeff and Becky,
We were so sorry to hear about your dad. I talked to him on one occasion and he was very sweet. He must have worked so hard to come to this country as an immigrant and to have such a nice family. God bless all of your family.

Our deepest sympathies to you Helen, and to yours and Mike's entire family. I am so sorry for your loss, he was taken too soon!
Mike was a gentle soul, a rarity these days, and he will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him. Mike was a good neighbor and we always had fun talking to him – "seriously Pat!" – and you. Mike and you have built a good family, your sons, Jimmy – who is probably greeting Mike now – Tim, Jeff and Rich, their wives, and all of your grandchildren. Mike had a lot to be proud of, beside his lawn. Did the man love to mow his lawn or what, and it showed, just like his love of his family shows. He and you have done a great job of being parents, and that is the most any one can do for their family.
Good job Mike, you did well in the short time you were here!

To Helen, your sons and all of Michael's family.....Our hearts go out to you all now and in the days ahead. We are so sorry for the loss of Mike. You have our deepest sympathies. We felt bad that we had to be up north for Mike's birthday party. I am so glad that I was able to spend some time with you & Mike at our family reunion. He was so happy. We are going to miss his warm, welcoming smile. We all know how much he loved and was so proud of you Helen, his sons, grandchildren and all of your family & friends. May God bless him and welcome him to eternal peace. Mike was always so kind to my father, his cousin. Love to you all, Diane and Keith
