Michael Jonathan Reitman

My condolences Carmel. I am sorry to hear of Mikes passing. I still have fond memories of our good times in Belmont messing around with old cars. Of course a trip to Reno some 60 years ago. You, Mike, Cookie and me.

Although I hadn´t seen Mike in years. I remember fondly our childhood in Belmont. And our many years at
Louis Barrett School. We had a great childhood.

We met Michael and Carmel years ago when we were both starting our family businesses, Slatter Construction and Reitman Plumbing. We have a wonderful history of doing so many jobs together and an enduring friendship. Michael served with our sons on the Builders Exchange board and was a mentor to them as well in business. Our hearts go out to Carmel and Mark from all of us in the Slatter family and our employees who were with us during those years. Mike was one of a kind and we are sending our love and prayers.
, he will be greatly missed.

I adored Mr. Mike. Mike was a great influence in my life. Michael and his wife, Carmel were life long friends, solid and authentic. Generous of Spirit sharing life lessons and wisdom. I am profoundly grateful for Mike and Carmel's presence. They made a difference in the lives of many. Condolences and love to his family.

Sending my love and condolences to Mark and Carmel. Mike was kind enough to give me one of my first summer jobs working for Reitman Plumbing. It probably helped that Mark and I went to elementary school together. LOL! I learned a lot from the hands-on experience I gained working with the other plumbers over those 3 summers. It is knowledge I still use today whenever I have to fix broken fixtures or install new plumbing.

I will always be grateful for the opportunity Mike gave me and the great stories he shared of his adventures in Alaska from his youth. From what I understand, he personally hand-dug parts of the trenching for the Alaska Oil Pipeline... or maybe that was just a pipe dream? LOL!

Seriously, Mike was a great employer, father figure and friend. I will cherish the memories and knowledge he shared with me. Best wishes, and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Much love to you!

My sympathy are with all of Mike's family. I always enjoyed him when I was his sister-in-law! He was a good man. I am so sorry for your loss. Love, Shirley McDonald

Mike was my first friend in Belmont. We were five years old and later he married my best girlfriend Carmel who I met in first grade. Mike served as best man at my wedding, and I was Carmel's maid of honor. I have nothing but respect and love for this dear man and will forever enjoy the many memories of our terrific and "lips sealed" times together. Good-bye Nichael. And my deepest sympathy to Carm, Mark, Al and Helen.

Uncle Mike always had a warm smile and a big hug for all of us! He made everyone feel included and welcomed. His love and talent for restoring boats and cars was inspiring! It is his kindness I will miss most.
