My heart is heavy knowing that the man that my children and myself affectionately called "Papa Mike" has transitioned. Dad was always a stand up guy who was always kind and sweet with his words to me and the kids. He gave great advice to me and we were able to share items amongst ourselves that kept our relationship real. Couldn't have asked for a better father figure. You are missed and always loved dad. Loving you, Nicky, Arito, Lil Robert, Chris and Gabby.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
