I will always remember Mike as a great guy and someone that was great to be around and work with. His easy going manner and quick smile was contagious. He will be missed by his family and everyone who knew him .

To Mike's family - My condolences. I first met Mike in 1983 when we worked together in the NYSP SIU. I have many fond memories and remember him for his easygoing smile and friendly manner. My prayers are with you.

met mike when we were stationed in Peekskill-1960. It was when he met Geri at Sorento's rest, 1960, and our paths crossed from that time ending being together at SP Monroe. He was a great guy-one of a kind-he will be missed.

Mike you will be remembered always as a friend who could be counted on to be by our side when needed most. We just emailed the other day when you told us you have slowed down quite a bit. You wished me & Sandy a Merry Christmas. We will do our best Mike but you will be in our thoughts every moment of this holiday season. A great New York State Trooper/BCI Investigator. Rest In Peace my friend. Our condolences to his wonderful girls and their families. Peace.

Michael, "me boyo" . . .
Farewell my friend. I shall miss you more than I can say and I will forever be grateful for the day I first met you on the skeet field at Wawarsing. It has been my great pleasure to have known you and my only regret is that we hadn't met years ago.

Mike, my friend, I'm sorry to see you go as we all must some day. I very much enjoyed our time shooting trap at the Walden Sportsman's Club, and the Lake Ontario fishing trips. We had some great times enjoying these activities and I will never forget you. You were a really great guy and I never heard anyone say a negative thing about you. I'm really glad that we met and became friends not too many years ago. I called you awhile back and you were happy to hear from me. I'm sure you were very much loved by your family and respected as a NYSP officer. You were a big man with a bigger heart. Enjoy the happy hunting ground.
