Michael J. "Mike" Baratta

Just now hearing of Mike's passing. I met Mike when he became a regular at show's I did up North and he was a huge supporter of my band. Even booked some gigs for me. Great guy always eager to lend a hand. Very sorry to hear of his passing. Chris Stovall Brown

I knew mike in our high school years.We use to hang out in the neighborhood doing what city kids did back in the mid 70's . Mike was good person and fun to be around .There are so many memories but one that i will share with you is the time mike " VOLUNTEERED " to climb the water tower in salisbury beach to paint our names on it !!! Our group at that time was Mac, Mike ,Granny,Pete, Jay and bird ... RIP ....

I'm so sorry for the loss of Mike. He was a good friend. He loved his mom so much and he was such a good man that will forever be missed. My love and prayers are with the family.

So sorry to hear about Mikes passing , we all hung out as kids on jewett st. He was a great kid and friend to all. My condolences to his family Gods speed Mike. Dave Foote

As another cousin said to me yesterday Mike is among the first of our generation of cousins and family to leave us far too soon. Mike and I were not close as adult men as geographies and interests diverged. Yet I have precise, uplifting and fond memories of him as a young boy and teenager. The ice cream truck on Jewett street, cartoons in the den at Babcia's, the 7 Dwarfs at the Lowell Drive In, splashing around at Cobbetts Pond or cousin Tadeusz backyard pool, avoiding Dziadziu's glare when we misbehaved (especially when the 7 or 8 boy cousins assembled for family get-togethers at 139). We know that Mike loved his Mom, my Ciocia, to whom I say you raised a Good man. And to Mike we bid a fond farewell. Cous Rich & Louise.

All these so vivid all these years later. We know Mike loved his Mom, my Ciocia, to whom I say you raised a good man. And to Mike we bid a fond farewell.
