He was fiercely patriotic and loved his country and community.

I first met Mike behind the bar at Chases, where his quick wit and funny sense of humor always brought a smile to everyone around him. He had a natural way of making people feel welcome and at ease. Years later, I saw a completely different side of him-graceful, thoughtful, and deeply sincere-when he officiated my daughter´s wedding. It was a beautiful moment that showed the depth of who he truly was. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and to his dear twin brother Jon. He will be missed by so many.

RIP, Mike. You will be missed. Tattoo

Too the Felice Family, though I´ve only known some of you briefly...but saw Mike and John often when I worked at Drug Mart! We shared memories of our families bike businesses! It was fun reminiscing and sharing bike stories from our past!
Mike was a ball of fire and full of silliness! May Mike rest in peace and I wish you all strength to carry wonderful memories of him! Jon I know you will continue to do great things with your gift of a bike to those in need! May the force be with you!
Our condolences
love, Leslie and Jeff Bassett

Mike, may you be at peace now. What a tremendous loss for so many, especially the siblings. I'll never forgot the hundreds of times I heard, "Princess!!" being shouted from a distance. Also, all of the times you'd remind me that I did a wonderful job raising me son, and you telling me about your own mom. Thanks for sharing your memories with me.
My heart goes out to all who are heartbroken from this loss. He was one of the good ones for sure.

Our families have shared a lot, good and bad times. I know I speak for my whole family in saying it was/is a true honor to be the extended family to Michael and all the Felice family. Our hearts are sad in Michael´s passing but knowing that he is at peace offers some comfort. I hope some people will get the chance to have what our families have experienced for over 50 years.
Love to you all <3

He was such a gentle sole. We met him and Jon in the small town of Titusville, PA when they would come here to their camp. What many didn´t know is Mike and I became really good friends via phone and facebook. Just because of stories and similar interests. We compared stories he had of the area and I had. His stories of music and the bar he and Jon hung out at. I was so proud of him when he become sober, and could still visit his favorite places. He was such an amazing friend. Jon, I´ll be thinking of you and your family in the coming days and months. I hope if you need anything you will let me know. Your brother was such a special man. And such a good friend! Thanks for sharing his humor with me.
