Condolences to the Palmaffy Family.
I will miss our short conversations about my dogs, and I'm sure my dogs already miss the attention they got from their friend while on our walks.

Mike, many memories. Like the time you brought me a light weight tent to make it easier to pack down into the Grand Canyon. We got all the way down there, and it was a child's tent and my legs hung out the door. We all had a good laugh on that one. Blessings to the Palmaffy family. Shane & Beth McAffee

To Betty and the Palmaffy family:
Mike or Palmtree as we effectiously called him, was one of the greatest guys anyone could have known. His love for the City of Vallejo; the Greater Vallejo Recreation District; the County of Solano or the United States Navy and her Submarine Service was unpararalled, but his friendship was untouchable. Fly with the Angels my friend, you will be missed, but we did have a good time.....Terry Curtola
