To the Michalski Family, I gotta tell you they always say tell people how you feel everyday because you don't know what tomorrow will hold....I'm sure you now know that is sooo true; but I know your family always told each other how you felt and your actions showed it as well. Your dad and husband(Sharon) was one of a kind and will never be forgotten. He touched so many lives and when you thought of "Bobby" I believe everyone smiled immediately. I know I do and will always. Love to you all. Kimmy Bricker(Columbo)

We are thinking of your family during this difficult time. We know how much Eddie cherished his friendships with the guys he grew up with and we enjoyed listening to 50's music at the dances and had fun catching up with everyone from time to time. May your wonderful memories help to comfort you in days to come.

My heart goes out to Bob's family for their loss and to Ken, Bob's brother, who I knew well in the mid 50's when we were all still young. Through the years I've often reminisced about all the good times the three of us had together watching the Three Stooges, listening to the latest hits when they came out, going swimming and just hanging out and having fun.
May he rest in peace.

Pop Pop,
What I wouldn't give for another bear hug, "well hello there," or for you to yell at us to stop clapping one more time. You truly were one of the most amazing men in my life and I can only hope I continue to make you proud while you're watching over me from up above. While I'll miss you like crazy, I'm happy knowing that you can now remember who I am and are jitterbugging up in heaven. I love you.

Maz, I never met a man who loved the game of baseball more than your Pop. From the time I remember having a glove on my hand he was there. May he rest in peace and without pain, in the arms of the great creator. Godspeed Mr. Michalski
