Ambrose and I lived doors apart on West 7th St.. We attended the same JHS and HS. I remember our world revolved around sports. We played on the same softball and hockey teams. I´m writing this now as I realize how short life is. We just lost our dear friend, Yonnie Nania. If you are reading this the Native Americans have a saying, This is an abbreviated version. But you will get the idea. When we die, we die 2 deaths. The first is when our spirits leave our body, the 2nd is when people stop talking about us. Ambrose, I will always keep you in my conversation, thoughts and prayers and specially in my heart. Rest in eternal peace friend:

I played hockey against Ambrose when he played for the Veniza Blackhawks in 1965. Always a worthy opponent with that hair! His teammate was Mike Day

Hi Ambrose, I was thinking about you today and how we used to go to the school yard on hot summer days and hit line drives to one another and see who could make the best diving catches. I miss playing roller hockey with you in Bay Ridge on ice cold winter mornings, you were such an awesome player and your slap shot was second to none! You are always in my thoughts and prayers and I can just imagine that you are with Elvis, and Jacques Plante at this very moment. You will always be in my heart, I love and miss you very much.

My name is Joseph Arnone. I grew up with Ambrose, he was my very best friend. We played roller hockey together for many years and then I went into the Navy and I lost touch. I always think of him and I will never forget the great times we had together not to mention his mom's awesome cooking. God rest your soul Ambrose, I miss and love you.

Can't believe it's nearly been seven years without you. I often find myself meeting people I feel bad for because they can't know you too. You had the most magnetic presence dad... you made people laugh and feel good and forget about all the garbage going on in their own lives. You had more life in you in a hospital bed than most people I meet in their 20s. I wish I could know you now. I wish we could know each other. I take comfort in the fact that you're most likely not resting in peace.. but rather singing with Elvis, dancing like a moron, being the life of the party, and skating circles around mom. You're life is something to celebrate... I miss you far beyond words Daddio... I can still hear your laugh

Happy Birthday Daddy -
I hope you and Mommy are enjoying this day together up in heaven. I'm sure you're on your third bag of sour cream and onion chips and Mom's been in her sweatpants and crew neck all day. Things down here are good. Hectic, but good. So much has changed and so many things have happened since you left us. The one things that remains constant is the ache in my gut because I can not hold you. In fact, I believe that the hole that is missing in my heart grows a bit more each day.
Happy Birthday Daddio. I will never be busy enough to not miss you.

"People die all the time. Every day. Every hour. There are families all over the wold staring at beds that are no longer slept in, shoes that are no longer worn. Families that no longer have to buy a particular cereal, a kind of shampoo. There are people everywhere standing in line at the movies, buying curtains, walking dogs, while inside their hearts are ripping to shreds. For years. For their whole lives. I don't believe time heals. I don't want it to. If I heal, doesn't that mean I've accepted the world without you.”
Always missing you.

To the Michelino Family,
I knew Ambrose back in Brooklyn in 1964..(Boody JHS) He was my first teenage crush!! I vividly remember him talking about his hockey games ALL the time..I cried when my parents decided to move out to the boon docks (Queens) as I was leaving him behind..but life does go on and we lost touch. Such a long time ago...
I somehow came across the news of his passing today..I am so deeply sorry for your loss..Today I learned what a special man and human being he grew up to be..His service to this country and the love and respect he earned from so many is amazing..But most of all, I am moved by the beautiful loving family he and his lovely wife created..It warms my heart to know what a happy, successful and admiral life he led..You have so many reasons to be proud of your Dad and Grandpa..May GOD bless you and keep you safe and strong. He is smiling down from above for sure!
June 14, 2013
My name is Jan linhart, but everone called me John. Played right d with Ambrose playing left for the New York Greenliefs, for 3 years, were great times, remember his Mom's meatballs, unfortnately was not in contact with him since college. Sad to hear about his death. One of the toughest fighters on the ice,ever.

Cheers to the only man I've ever needed. For showing me what a man can and should be. For complimenting his wife after a grooling eight hours in surgery, for telling her hair looks pretty and never ever letting me refer to her as she. For trying to clean but just making things messier and for fixing everything with duct tape and for being my hero for the last twenty years.
Happy Valentines Day in Heaven big man - Hug Mommy hard today.

This weekend will be my third year as a Relay for Life captain, and every time, I still do it for you two. Me and Kara are off doing our own things; different colleges, different states, different lives, but still, I never ever forget. I wish you could see her, I hope you can. We were all so worried in the months, even years after, but she's come out of this an inspiring, amazing, and unbelievably strong woman. And yes, I say woman. Because when you left we were little girls. I practically lived over your house sometimes. Me and Kara would always be up to something, and no matter what you’d be sitting in the family room with a “Hey Em!” and some silly joke. Even when you were sick you always had something witty to say, and that meant the world. Growing up with Kara had made me realize how much she really is like you and her mom. I’ve never met two more kind, caring, and genuine people in my life and Kara is so lucky to have had you two as parents. I am certain that she is the person she is because you made her that way, that’s for sure. Three and a half years later. It sounds like so long. The strange part is, it’ll only get longer.
Don’t you worry about her though. She’s incredible.

Hey Daddy,
Lately I can't seem to make any room in my head for anything but you and Mom. Her Birthday is tomorrow. We both know she would have made 56 look stunning. I hope you guys are together and I hope you are watching and I hope they serve carrot cake in heaven.
Life has been crazy and hectic and always changing, but the one thing that remains is my love, admiration, and the ache in my chest because I can't hug you.
I miss you everyday.

I am just now learning about the passing of Ambrose "Joey". I knew him over 30 years ago and carry even today, many fond and wonderful memories of him and his family. God provides many paths and avenues in this life and as I look at the path Joey took can see the wonderful life and family he left behind. I know you all miss him but I can see in your faces he is still a very real part of you and is still with you today. God bless you all during this holiday season but most all God Bless Joey and his beautiful wife, who is by his side.

Dear Ambrose, The Holidays are coming again and we have to deal with the fact that you are not with us. Phyllis will be bringing the Christmas tree out that you gave her, and putting your pictures around it, like she has done for the past three years. She thinks and talks about you and Nancy often. I hope you are resting in peace and watching over all of us, as we look up to the sky we look for the brightest star and we know that is you looking down at us. Love your sister Phyllis and her friend Triciia.

Hi A..
Yesterday would have been my parents 55th wedding anniversary :)and if you were still here we would both be celebrating the big "60" in February..
Wish it could be. I saw new pics of you new granddaughter and other pics I hadnt seen before that I suppose Vinny put on. I appreciate the chance to see them and smiled when I saw them. There are a few older pics of you when we were 15 or so and that is how I remember you looked when we met.The one with your Dad at graduation as well. I remember him and his paintings.
We had my Dad's unveiling on the 10th which was my Mom's birthday..My daughter and everyone is awaiting her BF's return home by Xmas. I hope you are watching over him as well as everyone else in your family and friends.I miss you and think of you often my dear old friend

This is to all his family....you should all be so very proud of ur dad ....brother...uncle....and friend....i had the pleasure to know him at the very young age of 18 thru 21...53rd street park in brooklyn was the place to play roller hockey back in the day....the best in brooklyn and the surrounding areas all came to play there...ambrose was one of the very best there...i know i played against him ..then with him...he was a great player...a great guy...and even though we lost touch many yrs ago..im sure he was a great dad ..and husband...may god have him playing on the first line in heaven...
August 29, 2010
To all the family members of ambrose let me just say that im very saddened to hear about his untimely passing. I know that alot of you and perhaps all of you dont even know who i am. I along with mike pagliaro played at 53rd street rink in brooklyn with ambrose. And although i never was really known for scoring goals there i was known for protecting the guys on my team with my fists. I wonder if he ever mention me to anyone of you about my antics at the rink lol...anyway he was a great guy ..a great player ...and someone i looked forward to playing with and against ....he left us all way too soon...my very deepest condolences to all...may god bless him....
