I will always treasure the friendship Mike and I had from when we met in 1983 while at the American Embassy in Manilia, Philippines.
His running Radio Free Rehab while in Reeding, PA was classic Guadagno humor!

Mike and I grew up together in the east end of Newburgh in the 1940's. He was a great guy. I'm truly sorry about his death.

On behalf of the Guadagno Family in Newburgh, I would like to send our condolences. Michael was our cousin. My dad, Alfred Sr. and his dad, Anthony, were brothers. I especially remember Michael and Sue's wedding when I was just a little girl. The families all had so much fun together. God Bless you all. Angela .

My deepest condolences to Mike's family. Mike was a part of our gang around McKinstrie's Grocery store on Lander and Farrington Streets in the '50's in Newburgh, NY. He was a great guy and will be remembered for the many laughs he gave us all back "in the day".
