Uncle Mike always had a story or joke to tell. In my young adult years, I remember sitting and listening to him talk about his life, and he’d always mix in humor that made you laugh without even trying.

The last time we talked, he was complaining about his age—said he was 74 and born in ’47 🤣 I pointed out I was 47 and born in ’74, and he just laughed and called us both “old farts.”

I wasn’t the closest to him, but it's moments like those that will play forever in my head. I’ll remember him for his stories, his jokes, and the way he could make you laugh in the middle of a normal conversation.

I’ll miss hearing him call me “Kiddo.”

You were always the best uncle. I will never forget your jokes, stories or advice. I wish we had more time. Rest in Paradise Uncle Frank. You left a lasting impression and you will never be forgotten. This is one of my favourote photos of you and dad that hangs proudly in my home. Love Brat.

Mike was a very generous, funny and wonderful man whom we will miss greatly, speak of fondly and have terrific memories and stories to tell for many years. He treated my mom with respect, caring and dignity and likewise was returned for the 29 years they lived together. He helped me purchase my very first car, would come and sit on my stoop, have a smoke a few times a week for a quick visit to catch up (even though I knew he was checking up on me making sure I was ok) and always with a story or a joke to tell... I still have his last text message to me and it says "you're my FAV xoxo M"

I found his adventures in life interesting and stories of where he had traveled to, people he knew and met along the way, sometimes kept me in stitches. A very good storyteller. Gonna miss that.

Thank you Mike for all the wonderful memories and that one picture I actually got of you!! I hope you find your peace. I love you. XOXO Ro
