I am stunned by the passing of Mike. We talked often about his home town of Pittsburgh. He was a real joy to have here in Texas. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Alder family. Rest in Peace, Mike.

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Mike's passing. I was looking forward to seeing him again and to catch up on his life at our annual party this February in Scott Township. I knew he would bring something delicious for us all to eat and would give us updates and news of his children that he loved so much. I will miss his surprise stops on Saturday mornings. My deepest condolences go out to his family and friends. Rest in peace, Mike

I am so terribly sorry to read this. Mikey was a great guy & we all had such great times down Michaels Lounge & with The Fabiano family. Rest in peace my friend.

December 4, 2014

Mike worked hard, had an off-beat sense of humor, and kept all of his staff feeling appreciated. He made us want to work harder and be better at our jobs. All of us at Austin/Round Rock just loved him. Every time I see a guy in a yellow shirt walk out of Mike's office, I instinctively glance up to see if it is him. I am sure I speak on behalf of all of my co-workers when I say we will always miss him terribly. Vaya con Dios, Amigo.

I read the Pittsburgh obituaries every weekend,and was totally shocked to see Michael's name. What happened? We hope his passing was not painful. We know he was a great comfort to you when Buddy passed, and you will miss him terribly. Our thoughts are with you, Joanne, and the family. He was too young to go.

To the family, my condolences. Death is never an easy part of life but a part of life, it is. We can all be comforted by our heavenly father, who comfort us in all our trials. He does this with a purpose. So that we can comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort we reiceve from God. 2Corintians 1:3,4
