Michael was a true friend with a big heart that shared joy! Always full of antics and he could never sit still. What a beautiful life to share with friends who miss you dearly. May you rest in peace ~ knowing your memory lives on. Thanks Rubbo for the laughs and the love!

We´ll always remember that hard shell and loud from the outside, but soft and extremely kind from the inside guy. Mike had a big heart, and a very sharp and intelligent sense of humor that many people appreciated genuinely. He was one of very few who still loved & enjoyed the humor of Mel Brooks ("Blazing Saddles", etc.), enjoyed the acts of Chris Farley, was proud of Neil Diamond ("Coming to America", etc.), and laughed at Clarence Carter ("Stroking"). He touched many people's hearts, and a piece of mine will always go to him. Rest in peace my dear friend Michael! I'll miss your, almost daily, calls that were started with "Hey Igor, what's going on". My family and I will always think of you my dear friend!

Mike was a very jovial person and a great friend with whom I used to chat for a long time pretty much regularly sometimes late into the night. I will miss him dearly and may his soul RIP.

Mike was great at making light of even the heaviest of situations, building relationships out of nothing and absolutely leaving a lasting impression on anyone he crossed paths with. He became a part of my family when his weekly calls tuned into daily ones during Covid and he won over my, then 2.5 year old son and 3.5 year old daughter (now 5 and 6) with his sense of humor. I am going to have to get used to my phone not ringing as much and hearing "Hey Meliss" without the thick Boston accent that´s supposed to go with it. He will be missed greatly

He was my brother from another mother. One of my best friends. I talked to him almost every day sometimes for an hour or more. He was a great friend and he will be missed. R.I.P.
