We certainly miss Mike at the holiday gatherings. He always made these times a little more fun.

My condolences to the Rome family. My friend and doubles partner Larry Cardassi had some good times playing the Rome brothers.

On behalf of my wife Debbie and myself, we wish to extend our deepest sympathies for the loss of Mike. Some of the best and happiest times of my life - and some of the most "challenging (lol)" - were spent with him as well as the friendships with his wonderful family. This a really tough one for me, and I know we will all really miss him. Thoughts and prayers are with Mike and all of you. Sincerely, Larry and Debbie Cardassi

Sorry to hear of the passing of Mike. I would still see him from time to time while he was out walking. Went to St. Johns and the high school in SM. I'm sure he is with Jesus now, and they are probably playing tennis.
