This photo of Michael makes me smile. It was taken at my wedding with Michael as Usher. One of the happiest days of my life. Michael was the definition of a gentle giant. He cared deeply for his family. From the moment I met him I knew he was special. I will always remember his love of reading. Every time he saw my kids he gave them books instead of toys. Michael is gone way too soon. My husband, kids and I will miss him more than words can say.

My sincerest condolences to Michael's friends and family. I spent many afternoons talking sports and music with Michael, and it was always informative and entertaining. I will remember him well, always.

Mike was my cousin, my de facto brother, and a great guy. When he lived in Minnesota, and I was dating my wife, we spent a lot of time together. He loved to talk about sports and music. It was Mike that inspired me to lift weights competitively, as he once did. In fact, I still have his old weight belt. I will miss him very much.

One of the kindest men I've ever had the privilege of knowing. Mike and Annie were meant to be together and I am sure they will unite in the afterlife.

I am lost for words with the news of the passing of Michael. He was my nephew and I was his godmother. I didn't see Micheal when he was young but we got together in Connecticut. I wish I had more time with Micheal. He is a kind and generous human being. I know he is at rest and with his beloved grandparents Frank and Malfada. I know I will see him again. Love Always Aunt Sue

I am so saddened to hear about Mike's passing. We worked together in Minnesota and he was so kind and caring. My father was also born in Brooklyn and we shared a lot of New York stories. I never met Anne but he spoke of you often and you could see the love. So sorry to hear about Mike. Prayers to you and your family.
