Michael Iavarone Obituary

During one of the happiest, craziest times of my life, Mike was always there making me laugh 'till I couldn't stand it. Mike, we had a lot of good times, that I'll never forget. I'll miss ya.

So many memories come rushing back of a friend I've had since I was a kid. Thanks for your friendship, a shoulder to lean on when I needed it most, encouraging (no, insisting!) I pursue a career in computers (and then going to night school with me). It seems everyone has an incredible "summer to remember" and ours was 1976 with you, me, Tony, Danny & Marijo. You'll always have a place in my heart.

but in the end is right,

I hope you had the time of your life." - Green Day

So long my friend.

Mike, I hope you get to meet all your friends that you so carefully portrayed on your Trenches on the Web site. I hope you get to hear some more stories and establish a camardirie wherever you are. Thanks for all the great emails and stories you gave. You and your family are in our prayers.

To Adrianne, Rose & Nick,

I lost track of Mike during our high school years but was just this past week trying to find him for a class reunion from St. Bride's. My sincere sympathy to all of you. When it is possible, I would like very much to speak with one of you so that I can write a memorial for the reunion book. Again, my deepest sympathy. 708-974-3667

Mike, you were a good manager, great teacher and great friend. I miss the long talks of classic film and history over a brew or two at the old Marguette. Your parties always featured awesome food and a fine collection of great friends. You'll be missed by Terri and I. Adrienne, please know we're praying for Mike and you through this difficult time.

ToAdrienne & the entire Iavarone Family, Rose & Nick,

My deapest sympathies on this great loss. Sorry I could not make it to the services.

Hey Mike,

It's the best picture I ever took of you. Remember? It's from the Emerson, Lake and Palmer concert, Soldier Field, June 4, 1977.

Those were the days, my friend. Oh yes, those were the days.

Your old pal,

A friend and a great guy has been lost. My deepest sympathy to Adrienne and all Mike's family and friends.

Mike,



Late teens, early 20's memories of my friend with a biting wit, a contagious laugh, lover of Rick Wakeman, owner of the powder blue Checker automobile with the oriental rug mats in the back, member in good standing in the Hegewisch Republican Army.



You are loved and you are missed.



The Fish

On behalf of myself and my family our heartfelt sympathies go to the Iavarone and Baloun family at this sad time. May Mike rest in peace.

Mike, Big guy, big smile, big heart. May you rest in peace.



God bless you Adrienne

Adrienne,

Jim and I are both so saddened at Mike's death. He was a great mind, a fun person and a terrific cook!



Take care and know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.



Jim and Cindy

May God bless Michael and may God bless Adrienne along with the entire Iavarone and Baloun Families.
