MaKoo Man, an entire year has passed already. I think of you often and deeply regret for not making the time to reach out more in years past. My most often vision of you is with that bronze tan you would get when you used the Bain de Solel tube of orange suntan lotion. Damn you would look good. Especially when we would go out at night on the NYC or Long Island club scene looking for a great time, but most importantly the special girl to spend a life with. I don't recall where you met Nora, but you found the special girl. Me, I had to practice a little...LOL. I know you are looking down and saying "Kodgula...WTF"  Please know you will never be forgotten.

Mike will be missed. We worked at IBM but I knew him better from outside the workplace (mostly on the golf course). He was a gentleman from the old school.
Rest in Peace.

My most sincere condolences to Nora and Mike’s children and family.  Mike and I were rather close back in the day.  Mutual friends from Whitestone and of course the IBM and the IBM Country Club.  We were both part of the IBM NY Midtown Softball league for years.  We nicknamed Mike “Hollywood”.  He was a star.   Such a wonderful guy too soon to leave us.  My heartfelt sympathies to Nora and family.   RIP Hollywood. 

May your happy memories, give you peace and comfort during this sad time.  

From the entire Express Scripts family, please accept our sincere condolences.




Dear Nora, Samantha and Michael,

Please accept our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your husband and father.  Your family is in our thoughts, as we pray for peace and comfort for you during this time of immense sorrow. 

With sympathy,

Kevin, Melissa, Dylan and Chandler Riker

I had the privilege and honor of knowing Mike and working alongside him for the past 10 years. Mike was a remarkable individual - tough, yet fair, with an incredible sense of humor and a deep respect for everyone he collaborated with. He was an extraordinary professional and a truly wonderful person. His absence will be deeply felt by many. On behalf of the entire 4myBenefits family, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the Verdello family and Mike's colleagues.

Sincerely,
Justin Peter, Jason Peter,
and the entire 4myBenefits team

Makoo MAN! My heart is broken and sad. We shared many times together in our early years only to grow further apart as our lives took us on separate paths. From the streets of Whitestone, to the mountains of Vermont and down to the mangroves of the Florida Keys and places in between, there was never a moment of not having fun together and with others. Rest in peace my dear friend. 

Rest in peace Mike. This is a photo from our IBM Watson Trophy softball team from around the early 80s. Your nickname was “Hollywood” ( as evidenced by your shy pose). Rest easy Mike.  My condolences, Larry Joyce.
