To Mike Mancuso’s Family,
Just heard the news yesterday and still trying to come to grips with the loss of Mike. I am wrestling with my emotions as I put my words on paper.
Mike and I were good friends. I thought a lot of Mike as my friend, so much that he was my best man at my wedding. To this day, I would not of had it any other way. Even though life took us down different paths, we stayed in contact with each other. We shared so many great times and memories in our youth, ones that I will never forget. We had our mischievous times (that we won’t talk about) but the memories are priceless…. the corn roasts, sleeping under the stars, fishing, fun at woody acres…all great times with a great friend.
Mike fought hard and everyday he was an inspiration to me and others. He taught us to never give up and to keep fighting. Mike was strong willed, always positive and a true friend. I am going to miss Mike, our talks and our catching up with each other from time to time.
For now my friend, rest in peace… until we meet again.
