    So sorry for your loss. I am a nurse at Joe’s and I knew Mike from there. We used to have crazy times years ago on our floor with parties . We all loved him. My prayers are with you Diane and your family at this sad time.

    Rest in heaven Mike. Diane I pray for you and your family that somehow you’ll find comfort knowing he won’t be going through all the health problems anymore. May God wrap you all in his arms now and years to come. He was a awesome man, funny, silly , and ment buissnes when needed to. He always talked so proudly about his love of his life and children too. My deepest condolences to all of you, family and friends. He will be dearly missed and never forgotten. 🙏🙏🙏😢

    Diane and family,
    I am so sorry for your loss! I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Mike. I had the pleasure working with him years ago at St. Joe’s when he worked security. He always stopped to say hello to all of us on his rounds and we will never forget him. Thinking of all of you at this difficult time.

    Diane, so sorry to hear this news. Wishing you comfort that you’ll receive from memories, your children, and grandchildren.

    I’m so sorry to learn of Michael’s passing and will keep you all in my thoughts as you deal with this loss. Michael and I were friends in Montessori school and again during high school after his family moved to Hinsdale. His parents and my parents were close friends for many years but so much tragedy among those early Seton Montessori families broke all the family friendships apart. I’m glad Michael had such a wonderful life with all of you and no doubt he will be missed. RIP, buddy.
