Since I met you at age 15 all of my memories of you were truly happy ones. Even when you were in your most serious state of mind you still made me laugh on the inside. Like the time(s) Mike Jr. kept putting our golf cart in reverse when we wernt looking. Or the time my car turned your freezer into a shape resembling a taco. You always kept your cool and said something witty and/or funny if it was intended to be or not. I'd always enjoyed and appreciated yours and Pats company and hospitality. Thank you both again for that. I wish I could have made it to the service today. It was an honor to have known such an honorable man and his family. Rest in peace.

Uncle Mike, My prayers are still with you. I know you have joined Grandma, Grandpa & Auntie Jean, and are now whole and at peace. My prayers are with you, Aunt Pat and with Missy & Michael. I know Uncle Mike has left a big void, and that we all look forward to seeing him again. I remember how much we looked forward to seeing him when he'd come to visit in Lawndale when we were kids and he had such a fun way of making us laugh! My heart is with you and will be with you during the services on Saturday. I wish I could be there. Love you.

I am so glad I got to be part of the family. You and Pat made me feel like I was part of the family. I am glad I could see you in Vegas in March. Miss you. My prayers are with the entire family.

Mike, you were one of my favorite people in the golf world. I so loved having you as my partner while we golfed in Reno. My heart is heavy as I will miss you. Rest in peace, my friend.

You were a wonderful Father to my husband Michael, Grandfather to my son Nicholas, and the best Father-in-law a girl could ever ask for. It was my honor to have known you and to be able to call you dad. I love you! Love and Hugs to all who had the pleasure to know such a beautiful person - inside and out.
