Sorry for your loss. Mike was year ahead of me at Brooklyn Technical HS in 1972. We both played Varsity Football. We have lived in Albany since 1985 and didn't realize he was the same person I heard about on the news coaching his teams in Colonie.

Dear Ambrosio Family,
Mike was a great friend who helped me when I first started coaching football at Sand Creek Middle School. As I moved up to the high school and coached football, basketball & baseball Mike was always willing to help me.. He had such a great personality & smile all the time. We became very good friends. I will miss him dearly.. "The Good Lord finally got the right man"...to be (THE HEAD COACH OF GOD'S ANGELS FOOTBALL TEAM)
WINS ... Infinity ... to 0 losses !!!

Dear Ambrosio Family and Friends, We are sending love and prayers to you at this sad time. Please know you are not alone in your sorrow. Mike's character, kindness and positive outlook on life will continue to live on in his children and grandchildren. Also, Mike continues to inspire everyone he talked to. I was fortunate enough to meet him during an Open House at Colonie High School, when he was my daughter's Health Teacher. He shared advice about how important good health is and he said, "Take the time to exercise every day". He wanted the best for everyone. It is nice to read how Mike inspired so many people to live a positive lifestyle. We are all Blessed to have him as a role model. Love and Sympathy from Gina, Marco, Allegra and Gianina Padula

Dear Mrs. Ambrosio, Bethany and Mark,
I am thinking of and praying for you all during this time.
Your husband and your father was a great man who loved and adored his family, a great teacher who inspired his students in so many ways, a great coach who led his teams to victory both on and off the field, a great role model who provided such a powerful example for so many to make a true difference in the community, and a great man of faith.
May you always embrace on the many great memories of him that you will hold close to your heart forever.
May you always find comfort with family and friends.
With deepest sympathy,

Dear Vickie, Bethany and Mark,
It's with shaking hands and a very heavy heart that I will try to convey our deepest sympathy for your loss. There aren't enough adjectives to describe what a wonderful human being Mike was. I guess God needed a kind, caring and loving angel. That's the only way I can explain this. You all have wonderful memories of Mike keep them close to your heart. My God give you the strength you will need to get through this.
Our love and prayers to your family.

I was so sorry to hear this news. I worked directly with Mike for many years. He was a wonderful human being- always positive, upbeat and ready to help whenever he could.
He touched so many people's lives both students in his class, athletes that he coached and colleagues that he worked with.
I can't imagine the loss that your family is feeling because Mike was a special person - you couldn't help but feel good in his presence.
My love goes out to you all.

My deepest sympathies to the family. He coached me and was a terrific influence on me my junior and senior years at Troy high. I was in line st Sam's club last year and heard him talking behind me and recognized him by his voice after all those years! We talked for 10 or 15 minutes about those times. He was a great person.

Mike was also the captain of our high school football team at Brooklyn Technical HS. All his teammates are hurting right now. A natural leader.
