Billie,
I am so sorry about the loss you and your sons have suffered. My prayers are with yoh
Mike will always have a special place in mine and my families heart. As a young man, Mike took 2 kids under his wing and coached them the game of baseball. Not only that, but would take us bowling, fishing, baseball card conventions…. all kinds of cool things. He not only was a coach but later in life became a good friend. Miss you buddy.
Billie I am so saddened and sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the hurt you and your boys are suffering. Please let me know if I can help in any way. Praying for you and your family.
I am so sorry to hear about Michael. I have years of great childhood memories that i cherish, growing up with the Cassimatis’s. Thoughts and prayers for your family.
Mike was a terrific son-in-law. He will be very much missed. I know he is in a good place now,free of pain and suffering.
MY HEART IS BLEEDING THROUGH MY EYES. THE GREAT TIMES THAT WE SHARED WILL ALWAYS BE CHERISHED. THE BEST FREIND IUTSIDE OF FAMILY THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN. HE WAS MY BROTHER AND I LOVE HIM ALWAYS.
Our family is so very sorry for your loss. Mike & his crew helped us with our landscaping needs for many years. But more importantly, he befriended our late son, Josh Moore, by letting Josh work with him for a couple of years and being truly a good friend to Josh during that time. Mike was a really great man who loved his family deeply. Our prayers are with you and we pray the Lord will comfort you in this difficult time.
