My niece, Lillian Perez, also knew him. She spent 10 years in Ithaca, and went to Boynton and Ithaca High School with him and Danny. I meant to include her condolences together with the Velez family, Josie, Hector, Danny, and Lilly.

The Velez family are deeply saddened by the passing away of Mike. We knew him when he was in South Hill and Boyton Jr. High (now Middle School) with our son, Danny. It's a terrible loss and we have such fond memories of him. We send our prayers to you and the family.

Joe and Joyce- I have been thinking of you, during this very difficult time. Mike was always good to me...house-sitting for me when I was hospitalised and taking care of my pets. We had a lot of fun together and I will never forget him. Again, I am thinking of you and your family. Rest in peace, Mike.
