Michael DeLarco Obituary

My Maternal grandfather´s name was John Joseph DeLarco. He grew up in Philadelphia, PA & died
in Rockville, MD about 1956 at the age of 65.
I saw this sad obituary for Michael & was wondering if Michael might be related to my side of the DeLarco family. What caused Michael´s death at such a young age?

I still think about your Michael and still pray for your family every week at St. Cel's. I hope time has brought you some comfort...God Bless.

I was one of the witnesses on that terrible night....I think about Mike everyday.

Still missing Mike

DEAR LINDA & FAMILY:



I JUST HEARD ABOUT THE ACCIDENT LAST NIGHT FROM JIM - I AM SO TERRIBLY SORRY AND WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MY HEART GOES OUT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. FROM WHAT I AM READING HE WAS AN ANGEL AND WILL ALWAYS BE. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ARE IN MY PRAYERS.

Dear Linda:



Carmela and I just found out that the tragic news we heard was about your son. We can not tell you how sorry we both are for you and your families loss. As a parent my heart fell when I heard of the accident. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family always.

Our family cannot fully comprehend the loss to yours. You have our full sympathy although we have never met. We will pray for you and your son.

We are old friends. Dad and I used to work together at the Farm. I have no words to express how badly I feel for your family. Pete

Dear DeLarco Family,



My heart was grieved to learn of the terrible loss of your son Michael and his grandmother the next day. My prayers are with your family.

I do not know your family personally, but ever since I heard this tragedy on the news, I have not stopped thinking about your enormous loss. I cannot even begin to imagine………… my heart goes out to your family.

Dear Linda:

As a mother I cannot fathom your loss. I am very sorry. I pray for you and hope God will comfort you and give you strength.



Always know the love you shared and the wonderful life you provided for dear Michael.



I will pray for Michael and you his loving mother,father and brother.



In Jesus' name Amen.

Linda, Mike, and Andreya,



Our family is so blessed to have known such a beautiful and precious boy, Michael. Linda and Mike, it is your teachings and guidance that made this child such a wonderful gift for the whole world to have. We have you to thank for that.



Our Mikey says all the time that the trumpet section is not the same. I still laugh at our First Holy Communion mass and how little Michael got out of the procession line and walks into your pew saying "Hi Mom, Hi Dad!" That same smile on his face.



We miss him deeply and pray for you every minute of the day. I know Michael is walking in your footsteps, only a half a step behind. He is closer to you now than he ever was before. And Andreya, always remember your big brother and how much he loved you. You were a great sister to him :o)



If your family ever needs anything, our phone is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. God bless you.

We are so saddened by your devastating loss. Our hearts and prayers go out to your family at this difficult time.

Ours hearts and prayers go out to the DeLarco Family. God bless you.



With deepest sympathy,

Dear DeLarco Family,

I used to work with Jackie at Manor Press.

I just heard of the news yesterday morning and I am truly sorry to hear of this sad news. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers daily. I wish there was something I could say to ease your pain. Just remeber all your special times with Michael.

Linda, Mike, and Andreya,

Thank you for sharing Michael, your precious gift, with the St. Hubert community. We know Micheal through school, Scouts, and band. Our hearts go out to you and your entire family, as many share in your grief. After attending the wake and funeral, it is evident that Michael touched, and will continue to touch, many lives. God is keeping your sweet angel safe now. Know that you will remain in our prayers, and that we are here for you.

Love, the Gebbia Family

To The DeLARCO Family, We are all deeply saddened by the loss of your son our prayers are with you at this most difficult time .The staff at Leyden Auto

To the DeLarco Family,



We know your precious son Michael is with the angels now. May your memories of him comfort all of you in the days ahead.



This prayer was given to us once and we wanted to share it with your family.



Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. What we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let it be spoken without effort. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before - only better infinitely happier and forever - we will all be one together with Christ.

We will pray for all of you and your son Michael always.



With our deepest sympathy,



The Fleming Family

No words could say enough.

No gesture could do enough.

And so, we pray.

You'll be in our hearts and prayers.

John and Gina (Raymond) Siracusa and family

Our heartfelt sympathies are with you and your family, none of us here can empathize with the depth of your sorrow, our prayers are with you.

DEAR LINDA AND MIKE,



WORDS CAN NEVER EXPLAIN THE SORROW I HAVE FOR YOU IN MY HEART. AFTER BEING THERE FOR THE WAKE AND FUNERAL, I HAVE TO SAY THAT I AM IN AWE OF YOU BOTH. I HAVE ENJOYED OUR CHRISTMAS PARTIES EVERY YEAR AND WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER US SINGING KARAOKE TOGETHER. MICHAEL WAS ALWAYS SO POLITE, AND ALWAYS MADE A POINT TO SAY HELLO TO ME. I FEEL VERY HONORED THAT MY CHILDREN AND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW HIM. MEGAN SAYS THAT SHE WILL NEVER FORGET GOING ON THE ROLLER COASTER WITH HIM AT LAST YEARS SEPTEMBERFEST, AND KASEY WOULD ALWAYS TELL ME HOW MICHAEL WOULD HELP THEM OUT WITH THEIR CRAFTS IN BROWNIES. LINDA, I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR ALWAYS LOOKING AFTER AND TAKING CARE OF KASEY IN BROWNIES; THE MAIN REASON SHE WANTED TO GO BACK EVERY YEAR IS BECAUSE SHE KNEW YOU WOULD BE THERE. YOU AND AND YOUR FAMILY WILL NEVER BE OUT OF MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS, AND IF YOU EVER NEED ANYTHING I WILL ALWAYS BE HERE.

Dear Michael, Linda and Andreya;

My thoughts are with you and all of our families as we grieve for the tragic loss of Michael. My prayers for Michael and my love to all of you. Love Uncle Leo

Dear DeLarco family,



I grew up just over the city border and went to St. Celestine's church for many years. I heard the news report and immediately prayed for the family -- whoever they were. Then I learned the names, and knew that my parents knew you from Cel's. How very sorry I am for the losses you have just experienced. Losing loved ones causes so much pain, so much sadness and despair. May God be with you all during this time of grief and always. May strength, spirit, and courage be yours always.

To the DeLarco family,



We were terribly saddened to hear of the tragic death of Michael. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this dificult time.



Mary Ritter-Trille and family

Rhu, Scotland

Dear DeLarco Family,



Our families have known each other for so long through St. Celestine's, Scouts and camping weekends - please know that you are all in our hearts and prayers.



May God be with you in the loss of your precious Michael and we pray that you may find peace, comfort and hope to carry you through this difficult time.



With Deepest Sympathy,

To The DeLarco Family,



My prayers are with you.

Words can't explain how bad I feel for you and your family. I wish there was something I could do to help. I haven't been able to sleep, work or anything since this tragedy happened. I just remember the nice picture of your son that was in the news article. He was such a handsome boy and everyone loved him and you have such a nice family.



I was right there after it happened, I live in River Grove right by the tracks. I have a son myself and he takes that train to downtown.



I have been praying for your family that God will give you peace in your hearts to get through this difficult time. I am sorry about the lose of your other relative at the same time.



I don't know you or your family, but I will continue to pray for you.



If you need a friend, just email me.



God Bless You.



Maria and family

Deepest Sympathies to the DeLarco Family and John Socha. This trajedy affected us doubely hard when we heard it involved the family of a friend and former co-worker. John our hearts go out to and your family in this very difficult time.

Dear DeLarco Family,

After attending the wake on Thursday evening I noticed that God gave all of us a wonderful gift of knowing Michael for 10 years.

Cherish the memories and remember we will "all" be together in heaven. Micheal just happened to get their first.

My most sincere prayers are with you. Blessings. Mrs. Pindel

i have heard about what was happened and i want the family to know that, we are all here for youu, not only is there your friends and family, but there is also the people around. You may not know us, but we are here, praying just for you

I worked with Michael's uncle for a number of years. Your family has our deepest sympathies and our prayers go out to all of you. God Bless!

to the family..i have felt so awful since i heard of your loss. eventhough i did not know you or your son it hurt me deeply to learn of the tragedy since i am a mother and grandmother myself. may god bless all of you and strengthen you during these sad times.

May God Bless Michael's family during this difficult time. You will all be remembered in our families prayers daily.

With Deepest Sympathy,

Tom Morel & Family

Dearest DeLarco family,



We were extremely sorry to hear about the loss of your precious son. You will all be in our prayers. Michael may be physically gone from this earth, but his spirit will be with you always. Love and God's blessings to all of you.

I am grieving for your loss.

When my husband passed away in 1994, they read a poem. Here are some lines that I would like to share:



"Don't Grieve For Me, For Now I'm Free,

I'm Following The Path God Laid For Me.

I Took His Hand When I Heard Him Call,

I Turned My Back, And Left It All.

I Could Not Stay Another Day,

To Laugh, To Love, To Work Or Play."



"Perhaps My Time Seemed All Too Brief,

Don't Lengthen It Now With Undo Grief.

Lift Up Your Hearts And Share With Me,

God Wanted Me Now, He Set me Free."

I was deeply saddened to read about Michael's tragic death in the Daily Herald. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time of sorrow. Heather Anderson

Dear Linda & Family,



I was so saddened to hear about your devastating loss. May God bless you with a lifetime of strength.

Dear DeLarco Family - I'm finding it difficult to even write this entry as words cannot describe how I feel knowing that this has happened. I have donated to Michael's fund at the bank because I want you to know that my love extends to all children - everyone's children. I continue to pray to Allah for Michael.

To the DeLarco family:



I'm very sorry for your loss. I was there on that horrible evening. My heart goes out to all of you. I will remember that day for the rest of my life. Andreya always remember your Big Brother will be watching over you. May god bless all of you and give you the courage to deal with this tragic loss.

To the DeLarco Family,

We can't begin to tell you how saddened we are by your devastating loss. We will keep you and Michael in our prayers and pray God gives you the strength to one day remember the good times you all had with him (and there were so many) than the loss and emptiness you feel now. If ever you need a shoulder or ear, we are here for you. With Love, Larry & Vicki Bellavia & Family

I did not know your son, but I know his aunt Kristin. My family's prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. I would like to share with you one of my favorite bible verses. Psalm 18:2 "The lord is my rock and my fortess and my deliverer; My God, my strenth, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." Keept the faith that God will see you through this. I will continue to pray for you and your family in your time of sorrow. God Bless.

Mike, Linda, and Andreya:



Our most heartfelt sympathies to each of you at this time of loss. As Christians, we know that by the miracle of Christ’s death and resurrection, we can share in His divinity upon our own deaths. As parents, we are blessed to experience God’s presence through His gift of children. Michael, today, is present at the table of the Lord…a place we all aspire to…an angel to watch over each of you. Our prayer is that, in this, you find comfort.

I AM SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR SON MICHAEL. I HEARD ABOUT IT ON THE NEWS AND AS A PARENT MYSELF, I CAN NOT IMAGINE YOUR PAIN. MY THE LORD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AT THIS TIME.

To the DeLarco Family:



My heart goes out to you, there are no words to express my sadness, and no words I can humanly explain as to what it must feel like, to lose someone so beautiful and innocent. I live in River Grove, and will always think about precious Michael. If I could give all that I have or all that I could ever have to change things for you I would do it in a second. Please know that there are strangers from everywhere thinking and praying for you. I hope god gives you the strength to go on. I will pray for the Delarco Fanily.

To the Delarco Family,

There are no words in existence to truly reflect the sorrow and empathy that we feel for each member of your family. My wife, Darlene, having lost a son of her own, was particularly crushed when she learned of your tragedy. I have been acquainted with Mike Sr. and Jr. professionally for a number of years, and in those years, my respect levels for both are unparalleled, not only in a business capacity, but on a personal level as well. While nothing can ease your pain right now, please know that you have friends to turn to should you ever need to do so. You will be forever in our hearts and prayers.

To the Delarco Family:



Although I don't know you or your family, I can't even begin to express how sorry I am for your loss.

On behalf of our family and my mom Rose Moreth (Friendly Jokers) our deepest sympathy to your whole family at the time of your double loss. May the love you have for God, & each other give you the strength to go on. Cherish your memories. May God Bless Keep you all & Watch over you.

Frank & Carol Bavone Family & Rose Moreth

We did not know Michael or your family but unfortunatly witnessed this devestating tragedy. Please know that Michael will ALWAYS be in our thoughts and prayers.

GOD BLESS!

Devin Noone and David Kerrigan

I never knew Michael but as a father of three boys and the Scoutmaster of Troop 401, please find comfort in knowing that all of us in the Scouting Community offer our sympathy and condolences to the DeLarco family in this time of mourning. May God be with you now and always.

To the DeLarco Family: I'm sorry I don't know your family but I saw the story on the news and was saddened. I went to St. Hubert's growing up and just wanted to say my thoughts and prayers are with your family. And that god has a precious little angel with him. I'm sure your son was precious.

Dearest Linda, Mike and Andreah,



We offer our deepest sympathy for the loss of your son our friend, Michael.

You have been our inspiration for so many years; every time we see each other or revisit the photos of our time spent together, Michael with his larger than life smile stood out. The sparkle in his eyes, the innocence of youth showcased in all its’ glory. We are strengthened and inspired by your courage. Now that you have lost your son, we only want to somehow take that pain from you. We wish we could. We can only say: We wish you continued strength, courage, and God's peace as you face yet another challenge. You have already shown you have what it takes to be brave.



When someone dies,

A cloud turns into an angel,

And flies up to tell God to put

another flower on a pillow.

A bird gives the message back to

the world,

And sings a silent prayer that

makes rain cry.

People disappear, but they never

really go away.

The spirits up there put the sun

to bed, wake up grass,

And spin the earth in dizzy circles.

Sometimes you can see them dancing

in a cloud during the daytime,

When they're supposed to be sleeping

They paint the rainbows and also

the sunsets and make

Waves splash and tug at the tide

They toss shooting stars and listen

to wishes

And when they sing windsongs,

They whisper to us:

Don't miss me too much.

The view is nice and I am doing just fine.



We wish we could be there. God bless you.

Dear DeLarco Family:

Althought we don't know you, we are friend's of Kristen and Taylor and would like to express our deepest sympathy for your tragic loss. May God bless you all in this very difficult time. Our prayers are with you and your family.



Sincerely,

Lucia Rudy and Family

I am very sorry to hear of your great loss. Masses on Ash Wednesday at St. William Parish were offered for your son and your family; we will continue to remember you in prayer in the future. May you know the healing presence of Christ in the difficult times you are experiencing. Again, I am deeply sorry.



Rev. Daniel J. Brandt

Associate Pastor, St. William Parish

Chicago, IL

(Friend of Mike's grandfather, Deacon Mike)

When I heard of the tragic loss of your son on the morning news my heart sank. I used to take the train out of that depot for years. My cousin is a good friend of the grandmother so that brings this horrible incident a little closer to home. There are no words that can console or take away the pain you are feeling. But know that, by reading this guestbook, there are so many people out there who are thinking of your son and family. My heart goes out to you.

I do not know your family personally but I do know someone who knows Michael from St. Huberts. She has told me that he is smart, funny, beautiful, and just an all around excellent little guy. There is nothing anyone can say that will make you feel okay about this or will make Michael come back.



All I can say is that always remember the fun times you had with him, and always remember, never forget. It's sad knowing he was such a young kid, but we all know he had such a big heart. He will be missed. Think of him as your angel in Heaven and your star in the Sky. Never forget him, it will be tough but you'll get by.



To Michael:

God needed you for His own reasons up in Heaven. Watch down on your family and keep them safe, don't be scared, they to will join you one day up there, when God chooses them to be the next Angel in Heaven. Everyone down here loves you and you will be missed very much. Praying for you kid!



My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Hang in there. Remember you always have friends and family to turn to for help and comfort, don't hesitate to turn to them. Praying for you.

Linda and Family –

We are deeply saddened by your tremendous loss. I pray that the warmth of God’s love surround you with comfort at this profoundly difficult time. May the glorious memory of Michael live on in our hearts.

Dear DeLarco Family,

I wanted to say sorry about your loss. Mike, He always had a smile on his face. Your family are in my prayers.

Will Lang

To the DeLarco Family: Although we have never met before, we send our heartfelt sympathy to your family. GOD needed a Little Angel, so he took Michael. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We heard about this tragic accident while watching WGN News. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and the families affected by this tragic accident. May god comfort each one of you and especially Michael. We are deeply saddened by your loss.

To the Delarco Family:



Although I don't know you, I just want to express my deepest sympathy for your great loss. Every morning, waiting for the train, I will say a prayer for your precious little boy. I am sure he is with the Angels and will watch over you. May the special memories you have of Michael give you comfort and peace.

Sincerely,

Silvana, a River Grove commuter

Michael's great-grandmother, Irene Jarvis, was a very special longtime friend of our family. The name Laura Piller, Neil's mother, may be more familiar to you, but we've kept in touch with Irene over the years and know how special each of her children, grandchildren, and "greats" meant to her. We mourn this double loss with you. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

My brothers and I grew up down the block from the Sochas in Norridge. Linda, our hearts go out to you and your family. We were fortunate to meet your husband and children a few years ago when we coincindentally attended a barbecue at your neighbor's (J&M Goodrich). We remember the kids coming over to your garage and having fun with Michael that day. May the wonderful memories you have of Michael sustain you during these difficult times.

Dear DeLarco Family,

I grew up in Norridge and I know the Socha family from the neighborhood and the St. Rosalie Parish. I was very saddened and disturbed after hearing Michael's story on the news. I can't even begin to express how sorry I am for your loss. I just want you to know that many people are praying for your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Michael always.

How saddened we were to hear about such a horrible tragedy so close to our work and homes. All our prayers and condolences go out to your family.



Heaven now has a new little angel

smiling over us all !!



The Nasti Family

Joseph Food Mart, Chicago

I am so sorry for the loss of your 10-year old son. Words do not seem adequate to express my feelings to you at a time such as this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

I attended grammar school at St. Celestine's with the DeLarco's and although it has been quite a while since I have spoken with them, I attend mass their still. My heart aches with theirs. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Delarco Family



It saddened Giovanna and I upon hearing the news of your son. Our

Hearts go out to your Family. May

God help you through this ordeal.

With sympathy THE MANISCALCO FAMILY

I am so very sorry to hear of your tragic loss. You and Michael will be in my thoughts and prayers for a long time

Sorry about what happened.

I did not know Mick but I know his cousin.

To the DeLarco Family: Although I do not know know you or your family personally, I am a parishoner of St. Huberts. I remember your son on sunday mornings either with a scout uniform on or soccer uniform on game days always with a smile. I always thought what beautiful smiles your son and daughter have.



The devastation and loss you feel I can't begin to imagine. I pray and hope that your faith in God continues knowing that God had a special plan for Michael as he does for each of us. His time on earth may have been too short but his eternal life will never end - God's newest Angel. I pray for peace and healing for all of you.



Keeping your memories in your heart will always be a precious treasured gift.



Know that Michael will be there in heaven with his hand stretched out someday to greet you. Do not be afraid; Michael now knows face to face what we hope to someday see for ourselves.



God bless you and may God hold you in the palm of his hand. My deepest sympathies to you.

DEAR MIKE AND LINDA

My Dearest Linda, Mike, Andreya, Family



Words cannot express what my heart feels for you today. I am sadden by your loss and hope you will find comfort in knowing that Michael's spirit will forever be with each and everyone of us.



Linda you are the kindest, most generous person I have had the pleasure to befriend, and I witnessed this gift in your children. Michael's memory will shine brightly in everyone he touched, including myself.



I am here for you any day, anytime, any moment.



I will not leave you comfortless.

I will come to you.

John 14:18

To the DeLarco and Socha families;

I grew up with the DeLarco's and know them through our parish and through the "Friendly Jokers". Although we never knew Michael himself, we know the DeLarco family well and are all so very saddened by your loss. Every person who has had their life touched by Michael is in our prayers, most especially those who were witness to this horrible accident. We pray that you may be consoled by the fact that Michael was with family and smiling when God took him, and hope you find some comfort in your friendships and families. Always keep talking about Michael - the funny (and maybe not so funny) things he did, what he has meant to you, and how much you loved him - so that he stays alive in your hearts and memories. We send our deepest sympathies and love to you, from the Gillmeister and Moreth families.

I am deeply sadden by your lost. And I know that neither words or anything can replace the love that your son brought to your homes.



Mike, I use to remember when you told me funny stories on what your children did over the weekend or what stunt they pulled to make you and your wife (Linda) smile. And every year you displayed a different picture of your children to show how much they have grown. Your son will be missed by all his family, friends.



Again my deepest sadden goes out to you and your family.

I did not know your son or your family. But I heard about your tragic loss on the news and would like to send out my deepest heart felt sympathy to you and your family.

Although I do not know your family, I saw the news coverage and read your heartbreaking story in the paper. Having children of my own I just want to express my condolences to you and your entire family, you are in our prayers and thoughts.

To the DeLarco family,



My heart goes out to you and your family. I want you to know that no words can ease your pain. As a mother of 2, I can only imagine how you and your family must feel. He looked like a sweet kid and I am sure he will be missed dearly. You and your family will be in my thoughts for a long time. You will be in my prayers.

My son, also of Boy Scout Troop 399 and a St. Hubert graduate, and I send our deepest sympathy. May God guide you through this difficult journey.

Our prayers are with you.

I never had the privilege of meeting Michael or your family. My mother, Lorraine Sprovieri, attends church at St. Celestine's with Michael's grandfather. We are devasted for your loss. I have two sons and I cannot imagine life without them. May your faith in God give you strength. From his picture I can see that he was a beautiful boy. Please know that although we are strangers, your family is in our prayers.

Dear DeLarco Family:

Our hearts go out to you at the loss of Michael. Your tragedy has touched so many; but we believe that God needed a "little angel". Our prayers are with you and Michael.

Sincerely, The Janetzke Family

I am so sorry to hear of your tragic and untimely loss. No words can express the devastation and sadness that is felt by all at this very, very hard time. Please know that my heart, thoughts, prayers & sympathies are with you and your whole family during this very hard time and always. May precious memories keep Michael with you always.

We here at Paul Ries and Sons, Busse Auto Body and Zeman Collision Center are deeply saddened. There is no greater loss than the loss of a child. God needed an Angel. God Bless all of you during these troubled times. Our sincere condolences.

"God's Loan"



I'll loan you for a little time a child, He said for you to love while he lives, and mourn for when he's gone. It may be six or seven years, or twenty two or three, but will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?



He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief, you'll have his lovely memories as a solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return, but there are lessons taught down there, I'll want this child to learn.



I've looked this wide world over, in my search for teachers true, and from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love, nor think thy labor vane, nor hate me when I come to call, to take him back again?



I fancied that I heard you say, "Dear Lord, thy will be done." For all the joy thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may, and for happiness we've known, forever grateful say.



But should the angels call for him, much sooner than we planned we'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.
