Loved watching Mike on YouTube. You could tell he had a very big heart and was a great man. very sorry to learn about his passing.

you will never be forgotten! from me N ur niece  . love u always. aqua

Rest In Peace Michael. I knew Michael when we were kids in Pittsburgh. My late father Leo Andrews was his Godfather. Our families visited each others houses frequently. I always called him my cousin. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. May his memory be eternal.

I knew Michael twenty years ago. Good man. A stand up a man as I knew. 

My dad's side is from the 412 area, and my polish mother's side has connections to Chicago. 

I love learning about real estate, stocks, sports, and everything to do with making money. 

I'm curious, and I want to help others one day. 

Thank you Ben Mallah for sharing Mike, because I share a lot with him.

I never met Mike but only knew of him through the episodes he was on with Ben Mallah in their Life For Sale series.

Mike, we never met but I could always tell you had a big heart and even though you may have only saw yourself as another employee to Ben Mallah, the shouting matches you two always had you never took it personal and you made thousands if not millions of people win you over with your charm. 

You may no longer be here but you will always live on through the Life For Sale series and the loving family you had and the millions of lives you touched with your business presence and that can never be quenched.

Rest In Peace mike

Followed Mike through Ben's youtube series and got to meet him personally. Mike helped show a purpose in the world he had that many do not have and I give credit to him. 

I don't think Mike's family may have realized how many people around the world, he made laugh.
He seemed like quite the character. A hard working straight shooter. 
RIP.

I never knew Mike, but felt like I did through his role in the many Life for Sale YouTube videos. He was always the good guy to Ben’s “bad guy” character, and while they were just messing around, having fun, you could tell he really was a good guy at heart. I was shocked and strangely affected to hear of his passing and will truly miss seeing him in the videos. I am sorry to all that have lost a loved one and wish you my deepest sympathies. Rest In Peace to Mike. His memory will live on in my heart for having inspired me in my Real Estate journey all the way across the country in Seattle and in his contribution to the videos. 

Mike seemed to have great heart and morals, he will be forever missed.

Mike was the Yang to Ben's Yin.  A quiet, unassuming man with sage advice when it came to real estate management. Although I didn't know him personally, his personality came across in video as a gentleman and a selfless true friend to many. Your guidance to aspiring real estate managers and investors is priceless. Rest in eternal paradise Sir.

We grew up in the same neighborhood in Cicero. Attended Morton East where Mike was our class President.  Great guy. Sorry I lost touch with him but glad to see he had a good life there in Florida. Rest easy Mike.

Here is that smile we all so sadly miss…

I’m so sorry you are gone! You were so sweet and caring! 

Stella,
We are extremely sorry for your loss. We met Mike in Fusion Cigar Lounge by Dee and our daughter Ale. We  saw Mike in numerous places, in  barbecue’s, Thanksgiving and in Fusion. He was always happy with a big smile on his face.  Mike was a truly gentleman and he’ll be very missed by his friends and all the people that had the pleasure of knowing him. 
We know that Mike is resting in peace with God our Lord. Our condolences and prayers are with all your family. Fly high Mike 🕊

There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out their way to make life beautiful for others…Truly a selfless man. I will forever be grateful for our friendship and everything you helped me / all of us with. There’s so many things to appreciate that you did out of the kindness of your heart, the biggest one being at my most difficult moments of being a young homeowner when my plumbing was failing, man did you save me. To us you were like family, we love you 

I first of all just would like to say Thank You to Mr. Ben Mallah for introducing me to Mike. As soon as I met him,  almost two years ago, he gave me the best advice, telling me to Never give up on my Dreams and Goals in life. I really will never forget his Kind words of encouragement and the Awesome man that he was! I will Truly miss him and I know that he is in a Better place! I will also continue to do what Mike encouraged me to do, Never give up! Thank You Mike! Rest in Peace! 

I have known Michael for over 41 years and considered him one of my dearest friends.
He was always there for me to share a positive outlook on life.
He was a man full of compassion,love and a desire to lend a helping hand to all.
I will miss his kind voice, his funny stories, his love of work and determination.
Most of all Mike I will miss you.

All fond memories Cous! Loved our time reuniting in Florida!

Without a doubt the biggest heart of anyone I have ever met. Even though work brought our relationship together it didn't define it. I will miss his caring nature, his concern, and support. I will miss the daily phone calls and putting our heads together to work out the every day challenges. Rest in peace my friend 

Michael, my brother, I miss you terribly. You helped me so much, as you did for everyone. Heaven has a new member of the A Team. 

With all our love, 

Bill and Tiffany Plain

I had the pleasure of going to high-school with Mike in Cicero, IL. He was always a  great guy, with kind words for everyone. We had many a great time  hanging out through those years. May you RIP my Friend!



Mike, You were so loved by many!   You Where charitable to all of us in your immediate circle and most to those beyond. When pressed for advice you gave it willingly and helped many in their time  of need.  I am fortunate to bear witness to your love and affection.  You were always the biggest guy in the room with the biggest heart that loved us all equally... The heavens now have a big guy to  look after things... Rest In Peace... Eric Davies & Reyna Messley

Mike was one of my best friends for over 40 years. No one was more honest and helpful a friend. I will miss him.
I feel bad for Stella, but she is the strongest and most resourceful woman I have ever met, she will endure.

I’ll never forget Mike taking the time to explain things. Even in the mist of chaos. I am thankful I enjoyed a Greek lunch at one of your favorite places just a few months ago. Rest In Peace mike. 

Where should I start? 
His constant smile? His supportive words? 
Mike was a one of a kind friend; Always was there for me through my difficult times; supporting me through his kind words and actions as well. Showing me that he led by  “Philotimo” (His favorite Greek word) that means 
A TRUE HONOR that’s leads by example in other words. 
My good friend I will miss you dearly. 
I will miss you so much. 
You will always be in my heart ❤️ 
Κάλο παράδεισο 
May you rest in heaven and make everyone smile 
Your friend 
Anna 

I'll never forget you boss, you gave me a job when my main job had cut my hours. I appreciate the opportunity to work for you and will continue as long as im needed. I'll never forget the things we talked about, you became a friend that I could look up to. Farewell...

Miss you so much already buddy.

And how could I forget….he was the best man at my wedding. LOST

Every memory I have of Mike was beautiful. He was a great man and a sweet soul. He never failed to call me each and every month just to check in. I will miss those calls. Rest in the Sweetest of Peace Michael! Until we meet again!!  All our Love, Blaine & Barbie
