To the Zannini Family. I found out just today about Michael´s passing. With deepest sympathy, please accept my condolences, I am very sorry for your loss. I will always remember all of us playing hockey after school in the winter. It was a lot of fun and needless to say Michael was the best player. Michael was a true outdoorsman. And, again please accept my most sincere sympathies on your brothers passing.

My name is Robert Ranone. I just found this out today. I have so many fun memories of Michael. My heart is crushed. He taught me how to hunt. I have films of him and I hunting a huge black bear in Utah fishing in Kodiak Alaska. He was just an all-around great guy, tell me how to eat healthy I´m still completely stunned by the news of this tragedy, my heart was out to his family members and all the people hunters and fisherman that really looked up to him from the people in Utah. I hunted privately with him a couple of times in Utah. Those are so my best memories not of just MICHAEL being with Michael, but my memories of being out west I just heard about it today. It´s so Flippin sad. I just can´t. I don´t know what to say. I worshiped him as a hunter outdoorsman. He has such a quiet way about him. He took a shine to me. I used to make him laugh , I´m gonna miss him deeply Robert Ranone

Mike was the consummate deer hunter as we all know & restrung many bows for me and my son. Could find mushrooms in the woods like I´ve never seen. Always nice & pleasant every time we were together. I miss him even though it´s been 20 years. Dave.

Mike and I played basketball at West Warwick high. We became friends for life. I remember driving around in his white VW beetle and we pitching in a quarter for gas ! I and many others will miss this remarkable man terribly. RIP my friend.
