RIP buddy, we had a lot of fun over the years. You will be deeply missed.
Sorry to hear this. He was a good friend for my entire life. He gave everyone their nickname on Wooster St. RIP BUDDY
One of the “older guys” I used to look up to growing up on Wooster St. RIP my friend.
Marilyn I am so very sorry to read of Mike’s passing. ❤️
My deepest sympathy to Marilyn and Mike and all of your loved ones. Mike was a man of integrity and loyalty. He was funny and knowledgeable and charming. We won’t see his likes ever again. I’m going to miss him and I’ll miss his feedback on current events and our shared interests and all his (often very funny) stories with his dear friend Joey Alfano and their Wooster Street gang. I’m gonna miss him 🙏😞🙏
Oh my Lord Marilyn, I just saw this November 2nd on Facebook. My heart breaks for you! I am so so very sorry to hear this of Mike’s passing. You have my number call me if you need anything. Love you lots. Janice Mancini
Hello Marilyn, Kessler and I would like to say how sorry we are hearing this news. You know the old time stories are flowing in the club of the good ol days. Please know you are in our prayers. God Bless.
Through a veil of Tears and Memories I write this. Mike and I have been Corresponding by mail
for a number of years and last conversed on his 80th birthday in February. I was replying to his
last letter, checking his Florida address on the Internet, when I viewed his Passing. Now I’m Here,
writing to him for the last time. Mike and I had some Great Times and some Rough and Tumble
times in our younger days on Wooster St. and Columbus Green. Mike was always someone I
could confide in, joke around and banter with. Mike when you see Bat and Funnel give them my
regards. Until we all meet again. Love You, M.G. Highstepper Fast Frank R.
