To The DeLeo Family,

Just found out about Michael's passing a few minutes ago and am stunned and saddened. Michael and I were cousins and grew up within a few miles of each other. I was always impressed at how responsible he was and of his strength of character,especially taking care of his mother after his dad died.

Our deepest condolences go out to his family and will include him in our prayers.

Pete and Laura Morici (Uncle John's son), John and Janet.

Only once in a great while does a man like Mike DeLeo come along to enrich the lives of everyone he meets. He was truly a wonderful man, with an equally wonderful, loving family. My thoughts are with you... Shelley, Vanessa, Bobby and Tony.
