I’ve known Michael my entire life, having grown up across the street from him. Donna, Michael and I always had a lot of fun playing together, and as we grew up Michael remained a dear friend to me. It is over these past few years, however, that I became reacquainted with Michael. I would see him periodically because every day after he finished work and had stopped over to see Isabel he would make his way across Belmore Ave to visit my Mom. Knowing she was alone since my Dad’s recent passing, Michael would do odd jobs around her house, but most importantly, he would sit and chat with her every evening , which quickly became a highlight of her day. I now feel very lucky to have been there during some of those visits. Not only because it was nice to catch up with Michael, but because it was always so heartwarming to hear him speak so lovingly about Ruth, Madeline, Juliana, and David, a love that he seemed to communicate with every word he spoke. Michael was a special person who touched the lives of many people and who will be dearly missed by all.

My 2nd dad. The man who gave me my first driving lesson long before I should have been behind the wheel. The man who believed in me and pushed me, and not just into the pool. The man who took me to my first two Hanson concerts. The man who was there for me time and time again. The man who was a father figure in my life since I was 8 and daily since I was 18. The man who was invincible. The man who was so in love with his wife. The man who was so proud of his kids and their accomplishments and even just of their existence. The man who had such faith in me that I only just recently learned of one night when we were chatting. He’s been a constant in my daily life. He has held a big place in my heart for the longest time. I am so glad that I have nearly 30 years worth of memories with him. My heart is not just broken for myself but for Ruth, Dave, Maddie, Jules and the rest of the extended family. Don’t worry Michael, I will make sure Dave is never alone and that he always knows how much his father loved him. I will be there for the girls and of course it goes without saying Ruth. I will keep my promise to you forever. I will carry you with me always and I will strive to be like you. I love you. Forever.
