Dear Ann, Joey, Melissa and Matt,
Finding words to describe the joy Michael brought to our family is difficult. That smile, that humor, that warmth of his kind heart will be sorely missed.
His deep love for you, Ann was obvious and his devotion to Melissa and Joey were gentle reminders that family is a blessing from God and should be embraced each and every day. Oh how he loved Nicholas and Grace Ann!
Michael brought joy to our lives and his respect of my Dad will never be forgotten!
Dad and I send our deepest sympathy, love and prayers.
I know that Chuck greeted him at Heaven's gate. . . chatting already about the Cowboys and Eagles!
We are here for you during this sorrowful time. May Our Lady grant you comfort in your journey of grieving such a loss.
We love you!
Linda and Dad

Ann, Melissa, Joseph and Family,
My deepest sympathy on your loss. Michael was my supervisor, mentor, friend and was like a father to me. I owe so much to Michael. As I shared this with him years ago, he told me John, it's what we all do, to share with the next generation, no thanks are needed. His wisdom, guidance and advice have been taken to heart and I continued to pass on today. His smile, stories and quick-witted humor are some of my fondest memories. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear Ann & family, we extend our sincerest condolences to all of you on the loss of Speedy. Although I moved to Pittsburgh in 1980, I got to see Speedy on occasion when I returned to visit the Slate Belt. His humor, sarcasm & congeniality were indeed larger than life, and when we got a chance to chat, it was like we hadn’t been apart. God bless you in this most difficult time in your lives. Please know that he and all of you are in our prayers and he is free from pain. May he rest in God’s peace.
