What can I say Dad? I am not ready yet to let go of you. I will never be ready for that....never. We had so many more good memmories to make together. What do I do now? Where do we go from here? I feel like my heart has been ripped from me, stolen. How can I be the same person without you how do I stand? Where is my foundation? You held us up to a level unreachable by my hands alone. I needed your shoulders to stand on. I said to you, you better not go anywhere. That I wanted you to see my son and teach him what you taught me. Things I can not teach, my love alone can't bring him to where you are. The times we had together, fishing just being outside. The look on your face when you hooked into that big one and then lost it. You just smile not get mad. That taught me more about life then you will ever know now. Sometimes you catch the big ones and your king for the day. Sometimes you lose the big one, but your still king because thats life and in the end we always had each other. It was being there together that mattered not if we even caught anything. Thats what you wanted to teach me, thats what I learned. Every big one from now to ever I will catch for you Dad. I will never stop looking for that look on your face when I reel them in. You, Uncle Dave, Uncle Fred, You guys built something special There is no way to make things right. I was on my way to build an empire, build an empire and sit back on the top of the hill and look down with you and say "Look Dad I built this because of you" and I would gladly give all of it just for one more conversation with you. I wanted to make you proud of me and I know you were but that would not be good enough for me, you taught me better then that. Dad you were at the top of your empire. Any of us would have given anything for you without you saying a word. You are a rich man and someday I hope to be at least half the man you are. To my family, a big part of our lives is gone. Each second that goes by is gone forever let us make them count I love you all and promise to you all that I will try and get around to visiting everyone more often. Dad, I always that I had more time, I wanted to ask you, What is living to you? I think I know the answer just wanted to hear you say it. Thank you for giveing me the best childhood anyone could ever have, the best family, and for your knowledge. As long as I still breath you are still with us. I will always hope for you to pick of the phone when I call. Dad, I Love you 'This love of mine has no beginning it has no end, I was an Oak now I am a willow, I can bend. Though in my life I will not ever see you again. Still I must stay until it is time for me to go'

There's nothing I can say to express what I can imagine you are all feeling. I can tell you that Uncle Mike was the guy who cracked me in the tail when I was out of line and my Dad was at sea in the Navy. He developed a trust with us, meaning my brother - Dan - and we could go to him whenever we needed too knowing it was between us to express to him how we screwed up or ask how do "we fix what we did". Thanks to him always and to all of you - his family. You are part of my family forever - all of you. Please don't forget it.You all always made the effort to see me and mine when we came back home to visit - that says alot in itself. You were even there when I proposed to my wife - in Buffalo. I will never forget you always had time for us. That spells out love just by its action. Thank you. I"ll miss you my Uncle. But I'll never forget you - nor will my kids.

To my sister-in-law Marietta, niece and nephews, great nieces and great nephews, mother, brothers, sister, all extended family members, the dedicted and very caring Disano family, and to Mike's best friend Ron. Our lives have been changed permanently...we all feel the loss...each of us at different moments and for different and often similar reasons. Moments once taken for granted no longer exist. Not another family event, camping trip, picnic, cookout, card game...nothing will ever be considered again with the enthusiasm and delight we once possessed for such occasions. This family has been deeply wounded but let's continue to carry on the bond of love and loyalty for Mike and for all of us. I love you all...Lillian.

To mike's family and friends. I read this in this mornings newspaper under another obituarie and it is so true. "Relish the moment' is a good motto...climb more mountains, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less. Life must be lived as we go along... the true joy of life is the trip." we love you.

Marieetta, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. As you know I am particularly shocked as I always considered Mike a big brother. I remember sitting by his bed for hours when I was just a child praying that he would get better, as he was in a terrible car accident, his senior year of school. He was so patient and kind to me when he lived with us. I think I drove him nuts because I remember following him all over the place and when I started school he let me sit with him on the school bus. He never complained and I always admired him.

Marietta and family, sitting here writing this is so hard. I can't hardly grasp in my mind what happened. I wish I had the words to say to comfort your hearts. I'm proud to have known Mike. I've always looked up to him, especially when we hunted together and the times we spent at Uncle Blase's camp with Uncle Phil, Sonny, and Charlie, and the good times we spent together. There are many miles separating us, but my heart, mind, and prayers are with you and your family. Love always, Cousin Peter "Butchie"
