Uncle Mike, We will miss you laugh, your smile, your jokes and your crazy sense of humor. You will be missed. We are so glad to have had you in our lives for so many years. RIP.
I send prayers to all the family that you find peace in your hearts and remember the times you all shared together. Uncle Mike was more than an Uncle. He became my mentor when I was a child. When you look up at the sky at night and see an amazingly bright star, that is Uncle Mike letting you know he is watching over all of you! Uncle Mike, you were the best. Love you, Cathie, your niece
My prayers and thoughts are with you Pat and the family. Mike was a man I will never forget. He always had the biggest smile and spirit if anyone I ever met. I was so lucky as a young man to work along side with him and learn what I could. They just don't build them like Mike anymore. May God grace you all with peace and comfort during this time.
A good guy gone. How sad. But what a legacy. Thanks Mr. C. for creating, raising and sharing your wonderful family with the world. You live on through them, and the world is better for your having been here.
In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing. - Robert Green Ingersoll My prayers are with you Coleantonio family, Uncle Mike is not around, but he will still remain captured in our hearts. He was an angel that came and made our lives beautiful, and now that he is in heaven, we know he is doing the same. I will honor and cherish the memories with smiles and not tears ... Mike would have wanted that.
Aloha. ...we were sorry to hear about Mike's passing. He was a marvelous husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle and friend. And oh what a friend! He had rhe most engaging sense of humor and always a twinkle in his eye. We will miss him.
