To: Michael J. Coletta Family:
I want to extend my sincere condolences to you regarding Mike's death. Mike did so much for the city and at those City Council meetings. I especially like the way he kept most of the Aldermen in line. He was a good man and will be missed.

Mike was one of the finest--about whom a book could be written. I attended his wedding--as Mary Jane Davy's little brother and remember how awed I was at Dorothy's beauty. In later years I represented United Airlines before the City Council--and Mike was my protector. He will be missed! I shall remember him in my prayers.
