Mary, Phyllis & Michael's extended family & friends, please accept my sympathy on Michael's passing. I hadn't heard about it until I received a Christmas card in my mail today from Mary. I have some vague memories of meeting Michael a few times at my husband, Daniel L King's parents home and a couple of other places over the years. Hoping that Michael is resting in peace in the presence of God, and His only begotten son, Jesus Christ.

The Russo family from Naples Florida would like to send their deepest condolences to Mikes family. We live across the street from Mike And we miss him so very much. We too are from Boston area and would talk about the Patriots and Red Sox and things we missed back hone.He would greet us daily always watch out for my kids. Harass my husband lol. And always bring a smile to our faces. Took care of us during our first hurricane Irma in Florida made sure I had my coffee every morning before going to work. Out there with his grill boiling water. He was a great neighbor. Mike I miss your greetings every night when I return from work Hey Kel how was your day? I still look over at the garage I miss seeing u there. You were like another grandfather to Bella looking out for her getting her house cleaning jobs and telling her to watch out for those boys. She misses u dearly. To the family my thoughts and prayers go out to u all during this difficult time. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Your dad will be greatly missed here on Cortona Way.

Phyllis and Mary, Truly saddened to find Mike had passed. We met at "the park" when my Dad got transferred to Worcester when I was in the 8th grade. Thumbed to school in the morning to St Johns with Mike unless we got lucky and Dave Roncone or Mary drove us. We double dated at one of our proms and hung around Brittan Square together. He was a good friend and truly sorry for your loss. Steve Morris

Dear Mary and family, I am so sorry to learn of Mike's passing. I have very fond memories of our teen years together with me driving your Dad's car because Mike wasn't old enough to get a license. He was a fun guy and a fun guy to be around. Gone too young.

To the entire King family and especially my dear friends from yesteryear, Phyllis and Mary, please accept my most sincere condolences. Growing up with Mike, in Burncoat Park and Lincoln St, going to St John's together, was a great time in our lives. Mike was a great kid. This is sad news. Far too young. I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
