It is hard to believe that Mike has been gone for 7 years.
He was a sincere and intelligent man, and would have been
very happy with the re-election of President Trump. They were
on the same golf team at Fordham.

I spoke to him last at the end of December,and had no clue that he was so close to the end. He sounded fine. We have been friendly since the late l970s, though often out of touch for a while. A fine and honest man. My sympathy to his family and fiends.

My deepest sympathy to the Java Family. I was a year ahead of Mike in VI. I remember him fondly. Had a very easy way about him and was a friend to many. He will be missed. May he rest in the peace of Christ forever.

Condolences to Barbara and The rest of Mikes family. Mike was one of my best friends my whole life - grammar school to now. I spoke to him on the phone for about an hour a few months ago and he seemed in great spirits. I knew he wasn't feeling that well but his passing is really a shock. Jim Griner was our other lifetime golf buddy and he and I also spoke recently. We all played a million rounds together at Muni, and drank at Ralph's, the Fountain etc. back in the day. We'll all miss Mike a lot - great guy and great friend.

We are so saddened with the news of our cousin Mike passing away. Mike had a beautiful smile. We spent many wonderful childhood summers in upstate New York at our grandparents house. Our love and prayers to Barbara Ann and her family who he loved dearly. May he Rest In Peace.

I was Mike's homecare nurse for both bouts of his illness! We had so many conversations and laughs together! I feel like I know ea of you through his eyes. Mike was quite a unique human being so giving full of fun and such a gentleman. He always walked me to my car after each visit! I will miss him!
Please know that Mike and each of you are in my thoughts and prayers

I knew Mike my entire life. Grew up on Pinewood with him. He was a great friend of my brother, Dave. Anytime you ran into Mike it became a 90 minute fun fest of laughter about the "old days", people who we both knew, his golf stories, whatever. Mike could always put a smile on your face. I'll miss our impromptu silly chats. My condolences to your entire family. Mike will be missed by anyone and everyone who knew him.

Years ago used to spend many hours chatting with Mike in parking lots and restaurants. Lost contact with him and thought he had moved to Fla. So sorry to hear of his passing.
