My condolences to the Carpenzano family. When I was 12 years old we lived right next door to the Carpenzanos in the Agostino house and I spent many days/evenings playing with Frances at their house.

The definition of a really great guy, that´s Mike. So many find memories over the years, mostly at the 4th of July gatherings. He was always so nice to me and always seemed so happy. I´ll always remember how he and Joanne showed up to bring my Dad tripe during his last weeks of life and recently a very nice lunch at Mom´s house. No more suffering.... May he rest in peace.
Sending love & light to you all.
