My deepest sympathies for your loss. Mike was a friend and colleague at both Franklin and Norwalk HS and respected by his peers and liked by his students. His passing will leave a void in many lives but his life itself added so much to those who knew him.

Michele, Jenn and Michele,
I just heard about Mike. I am so shocked and saddened for you--it's been so long since we've seen any of you I didn't know what you were going through. You will all be in my prayers. Mom---at one of the girls' birthday parties you commented to me about all the "toys" Mike had accumulated at your house: "he who has most toys wins"---I hope Mike enjoyed playing every day he had. Cherish your memories.
Love and prayers,
Kate Kutash

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you have great memories and find peace in your heart soon. Mr Grasso was my wood teacher at NHS! He always had a smile on his face. Many laughs in his class. The kids loved him and he will be sorely missed by many.
