They where blessed with 6 Grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren and many dogs along the way. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice.

Mike was a very dear friend. I met him when I worked at Beaumont and we realized we were neighbors. He was like a Father to me. I spent a lot of time with him and his sw eet dog Mario. He was a wonderful man and I will cherish all those wonderful memories with Mike and Mario. You're finally in heaven with Dotty. God bless you Mike. You will be sorely missed.

Mike & Dottie were our friends since 1973 when we first met through army circumstances. We too are from Pgh.PA., so he adopted us right away. Add that my wife is Italian, that made it a perfect fit! Mike was such a caring, loving, generous man with a wicked wit! He had in-depth knowledge on any topic which made him a joy to converse with. We will miss his presence immensely. Be at rest Mike & find peace in the arms of the LORD.
