So many people miss you, Michael. I miss you terribly...our long talks, the easy way we spoke to each other. I still speak with you and even though I hear no answers, I feel you are still near.  'Will always love you my friend.

I am very sorry to learn of Michael's passing. Michael and I were friends after we met back in 1996 I believe as our offices were next to each other in the building in Ballard. Then I moved to Port Townsend. 
Such a special person and I remember his kindness when my daughter passed away. 
We lost contact. I would appreciate learning how to acquire one of his baseball books. 
Blessings to all

I have known Michael since we met at law school in Washington DC in 1978.  For a time we lived in the same apartment building in Arlington, Virginia. We were both from long Island and continued our friendship back in New York. Got to know his parents, sister and their beloved dog.  My father and Michael's father did some business.
I lost track of Michael. I found out he moved to Seattle and tried to contact him but we did not reconnect.
He was a wonderful person as well as his parents.  My wife and I just found out he passed. My prayers for him and his family.

Michael,
Beautiful Heart, Kind Soul, Always There For You.
In Our Thoughts Forever.

Michael was always very nice and kind soul. Would always bend your ear with a good story, or lend his. Very unassuming and giving human being. Usually would see him every Christmas. Will surely be missed......
 

Farewell to my cousin Michael.  A dear and kind man taken far too soon.  It seems only fitting to share a photograph of his beautiful family and one that he put before all else.  He loved the search and discovery of his genealogy, and held all of us as important to him.
Gone but never forgotten Michael.  We will never let you be forgotten.

Two devoted Yankee fans!

Michael (left) with his older cousin Michael both of whom not only enjoyed Mickey Mantle's out of the park home run history but also that exciting neck and neck battle with Roger Maris in 1961.  What a competitive year that was!  I THINK they were both around 60-61 home runs for the season??  But second to none and more importantly both Michaels so enjoyed....their Nanny's best ever lasagna dinner on every family Christmas Day with definitely a second helping for sure.  Can't beat that!!!

I remember Mike as a very kind, gentle giant, who was a great friend to my dad. He spent many great memorable moments with my family including seahawks games, New Years, and many autograph signings. I will always remember mike as a caring a respectful friend, and he will be missed.

Shocked and saddened to learn of Michael's passing. Through the years I had first hand opportunity to witness Michael's love and interest in family and family history. Whether it was his concern for family members or his sharing of family history and photographs, it was clear that his extended family was his passion in life. I learned a great deal from him and will always remember his generosity and kindness.  We will miss you Michael. Fred McCaslin and Family.

I enjoyed knowing him as a member of the italian Interest Genealogy Group.  He had very interesting stories and he was a very nice man.
