Heather, Anthony & Daniella posted a condolence
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they might knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on....
WE MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Anna Marie Driscoll posted a condolence
The wolf scouts of pack 283 were so very fortunate to have known “Leader Mike�. Michael had such a passion for scouting and if it wasn’t for the fact that he was a good 2ft taller than the scouts, you would have thought he was one of them! At the end of each den meeting, Michael would have the 6 boys stand in a circle and link their hands together in what he called the “living circle�. The boys would shout “Do Your Best� (the scout motto) and howl like wolf scouts. No greater legacy could have been left to those boys and we will continue that ritual at the end of each den meeting in Michael’s honor. His scouts, and I, will miss him terribly. Our scout den is an extended family and we will all be there for Heather, Anthony and Daniella whenever, wherever and however.

To my extended family: I was so proud to be able to be there with you to celebrate the life of Michael. Having known this family all my life I was surprised at how much Michael had grown from the young boy I had known into a such fine young man. He gave so much to so many as witnessed by those who loved him. The many tributes were inspiring. I continue to mourn his loss as I would my own son. I only wish we had more time together. Until we meet again...Paulie

I did not have the fortune of meeting Michael, but I do know Patty. From the picture, I can see the same great smile & can only imagine the same wonderful, youthful personality came with it. I pray that with the help of time, family & friends, you will all find the peace you need to feel whole again.

My Heart felt sympathy to Michaels' family. Michael was dynamic with a great laugh! I"m sure he touched many peoples lives and hearts and his loss is deeply felt.
Know how proud he was and how much he loved his family.
He proudly displayed pix on his desk.
He was meticulous. i laugh because i was always embarrassed by my messy car when i brought it in for service.
I can still hear his laugh, and so glad to look at the picture to remember that smile. My prayers are with u Michael! and for your friends and family here who miss u already

Michael was one of the nicest and kindest people that I have ever come in contact with. He loved his wife and his family with his whole being. It is an extreme tragedy that his life came to such a sudden halt. He made an impact on so many people. He always had a smile on his face and a positive impact on everyone that he came into contact with. His spirit with live with all who knew him forever. I am so saddened by this loss and my heart goes out to his wife Heather and thier two beautiful children. He will be missed by many but his spirit will survive within all who know Michael.

The last time we saw Mike was at a gig we had in PA. Mike got up and sang Kryptonite, as he often did, and it brought the house down. I remember clearly looking at him while he was up there and thinking about all of the years that had gone by. How our lives had changed so drastically and what a great man he had become. A wonderful father, a wonderful husband and a part of our family. If I had known that it would be the last time I saw him, I would have told him all of those things... I am blessed to have known him and honored that he considered me not only his friend's wife but also his friend.
