Mrs. Pampalone, Family and Agency Staff,

I had the privilege of working with Mike for many years as one of his many insurance company friends. He was such a delightful man. Such a gentleman always even when we disagreed. He wanted the best result for his customers and his priority in business was providing for their needs.

I can envision him now at heaven's gate trying to get the best "deal" he can. I will miss him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you

Mrs. Pampalone and family,

I'm so sorry for your loss with Mr. Pampalone's passing. I'm especially grateful for all his encouragement and advice as a former Serran and for his advice for being a good man, father, businessman and contributing member of the entire Northwest Indiana community.
May God bless you and keep you.

Mrs. Pampalone and family,
I was sorry to hear about your loss. Mr. Pampalone was certainly a treasured member of God's family and our community in Northwest Indiana. He will be missed. I'm especially grateful for the support he offered to me and to my brother seminarians in the Diocese of Gary. The prayers and other means of support that the Serrans have, and continue to offer, means a great deal to us. May our Lord grant His son, Michael, eternal rest. May He grant you comfort in your time of loss.

Deacon Mick Kopil,
Seminarian, Diocese of Gary
