Michael Trotta Obituary

Dear Lynn,

I never met u but I met Mike a couple times at the bar with a friend. He was very gracious and really cared about his patrons and was from the old school of how to treat people.

Dear Family-

Though I did not know Michael, I enjoyed the special times I've had with good friends at his establishment. His influence was far-reaching and he touched many people's lives. He will be missed.

MIKE, I WILL MISS YOU DEARLY, I PROMISE THAT I WILL BE THEIR FOR LYNN, THE KIDS, AND YOUR MOM. AMY, YOUR GODCHILD IS A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW. THIS IS WHAT I WROTE TO SHOW OTHERS WHAT YOU MEANT TO ME.

"MY BOSS"

MY BOSS WAS SPECIAL TO ME BECAUSE-

HE HAD ALWAYS ACCEPTED ME

FOR THE PERSON THAT I AM

HE DIDNT YELL ABOUT THE MISTAKES

THAT I MADE

BECAUSE HE KNEW I WILL LEARN

FROM THEM

HE TAUGHT ME TO BE A STRONG INDIVIDUAL BUT ALSO TO KNOW

WHEN TO BE SOFT

HE SHOWED ME THAT LIFE IS NOT EASY

BUT THE TOUGH TIMES MAKE YOU APPRECIATE THE GOOD ONES

HE ALWAYS WAS PROUD OF MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND HAS BEEN

SUPPORTIVE OF MY FAILURES

I AM GRATEFUL AND ALWAYS WILL BE

FOR HAVING MIKE AS MY BOSS.

REST IN PEACE MIKE, TILL WE MEET AGAIN. LOVE LU

DEAR LYNN, MY CONDOLENCES TO YOU, YOUR FAMILY, AND EVERYONE AT NINAS

MIKE WAS A WONDERFUL MAN

Mike i will miss our conversations and all the laughter we had you will be missed by many. you were and always be a first class guy. Fagan

I have Known Mike (or should I say he has known me) At the age of 10 (in 1977) my friends(the Scherps) and I Use to pass out flyers for him! I have to say even though He would give us 5$ each,,(big money in "77") he would always feed us(after the flyers were gone of course) and let us have all the pop we wanted! You know It just didnt end there!! Mike was a man that made us come back for more. He was a true man of his word and a TRUE friend..As for myself I have gone in and talked mike as much as my life has allowed (as well as John and Mike)I am 38 now and will miss him! ALL I CAN SAY IS MIKE THANKS,,, THAT YOU WERE A PART OF MY LIFE..YOU know a book can be wrote of this man's life...Thats for another day!! My respects to the Trotta family May he REST IN PEACE!!!! Again thanks MIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are saddened to hear about the loss of Mikey. I will always have fond memories of him and we will pray for all the Trotta,Lorenz,Koch and Bill families in this time of sorrow. May God hold you all in the palm of His hand.

you will be missed dearly our prayers go out to the family. we would not have met and married if it wasnt for ninas and all the laughter and love we felt from you all. god bless TROTTA FAMILY AND MIKE.

Mike ran one of the last true Chicago bars. His character can't be duplicated or replaced. We enjoyed many good times talking with him and solved many world problems of politics and religion... We'll miss him and you are in our thoughts and prayers.

God Bless Your Family.

From your cousin Cathy (Stavola) Espada
