Michael continues to have an effect on our family through his son Dominick, I'm sure he is proud of his son.

Dominic was the officiant at my son's wedding last weekend, I'm sure his Dad would have been very proud of the class, dignity and style that Dominic displayed.

As our social would has changed drastically because of Covid, my contact with the Altobelli family remains through my son and mainly with Dominic. On the occasion of Mr. Altobelli's passing it is good to know that his two granddaughters, born earlier this year are very healthy.

In the last year my connection to the Altabelli family has been through my son with Dominick. With this in mind I feel certain Mike is very proud of his son in every way, as a businessman of character and as person of quality.

Deeply shocked and saddened by this sudden unexpected loss, my deepest sympathies to Kathy and sons, Adam and Dominic, brother, Anthony and his mother. Mike was blessed with wonderful wife and beautiful family and close friends. Bigger than life, I was lucky enough to know him and call him a friend. I played golf with him at Heritage Bay in Naples and got to know his family and some of his close friends. He was blessed with physical attributes that allowed him to play baseball at the highest professional level and hit a golf ball 300 yards. Yet he was down to earth, fun loving and big hearted, with a hint of mischief in his smile. Altobelli Big and Beautiful in Italian. That pretty much sums it up. Love you Mike. I will miss you. Thanks for the memories. They will always be a part of my life.

Mike was a teammate, friend and brother. His sense of humor, generosity, loyalty and ability to encourage were some of his memorable qualities.
To his family: my deepest sympathy- he loved you all so much and was so proud of you. I am sorry I am not able to travel to be with you but you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
I loved him and will miss him dearly.

My deepest sympathies to all of you at this difficult time. Although I only met Mike a few times through my brothers Paul and Joe, he seemed to make everyone laugh and always made sure everyone had good time no matter what the function.
I know your hearts are heavy and full of sadness but Mike will forever be within your hearts and daily lives.
With Sympathy,

I'll always remember Mike's humor and his ability to light up a room and put a smile on everybody's face. Never knew what to expect, but whatever it was, it was distinctly Alto. One of a kind.

To the Family of Mike and All at CEP-
I am so shocked and still can't believe this. Mike was an instant rock star to anyone he spoke to. One of the most caring people you would ever meet.
Going to miss you and the Naples Florida adventures we were crafting.

Mr. Altobelli and I knew each other through his son Dominic and my son Michael and baseball, I had also met Adam. I believe this would be a good time for me to share a conversation Mike and I had with Mike's wife, Kathy. At the time I had said, "You and your wife should be very proud of the your son's". As the father of a son it is easy to recognize the ones that have loving parents in there lives.
Words are not enough at a time like this. I hope the following helps. I lost my Father in 1957, I was 12 years old, he has been with me every day of my life and I never embarrassed him. I'm proud of that.
