I am shocked and saddened by the news of Mike´s death. We sat together at our 50th reunion October of last year and had such a good time talking and catching up. He lived on the same road as my cousin Barb and we´d spend time with he and his sisters when I would visit. God called a special man home. He was always smiling and a joy to be around. My sincere condolences to his sisters and family. He will be sadly missed. May he Rest In Peace with his creator.

I cried after your phone call yesterday, giving me the bad news. I grew up in Tarentum. In western PA. we know a real man. Mike was that. My children called him "Uncle Big Mike". I knew Mike since he dated my sister in college, In all that time, not a bad word can I say about him nor he about anyone else. I am a better man for having known Mike. May he rest in peace and again be united with his love.
