#11 Dave Ruthenberg 2012-02-14 07:31 I can't begin to express my sadness at Mike's passing.
I got to know Mike several years ago through business, but we quickly became friends. He may have been one of the nicest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing.
We played many rounds of golf, shared many laughs and his counsel was invaluable.
My biggest regret is that after my wife and I moved out-of-state I did not stay in touch. And now it is too late.
I will miss you Mike, and have been so honored and blessed to have known you.
My deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.

#15 Mike paladino 2012-02-16 05:12 Dear Mary, David and Family,

I was just shocked to read of Mike's passing. I live in Milford now and don't really keep up Norville news much anymore. Although I didn't know him well we did spend some quality hours discussing business and our families. We even had a great lunch together one afternoon. What a great human being. We was so wise, funny, humane, introspection and philosophical. he certainly loved his family. I always thought I would see Mike again, down the road on business. I'm sorry that we didn't have more lunches and laughs. I always thought of him as a friend any time I was with him. I sincerely wish you all the very best. God Bless mike and All of You !!!
Mike Paladino

#16 patty wong 2012-02-16 10:19 Mary - I don't know if you will remember us, but a couple of our kids went to preschool together years ago - we met when you lived in Lakepointe. I am so sorry for your loss. We have wonderful memories of those early days when our kids were so young. You and the kids are in my thoughts and prayers. Patty Wong Quote

Nancy and I were saddened by the news of Mike's passing. Sorry we did not hear about it in time to attend his funneral. Really enjoyed the times we played golf while attending the numerous St. Mary's rowing events. His amazing sense of humor was always present and made him a joy to be with. Mike was on my email joke list and his feedback quite often made me re-read some little joke because of what Mike read into it. He will be missed by many. Our prayers are with you and your family.

God speed Mike.

I just found out about Mike's passing and wanted to express my condolences. I had visited Mike in the hospital a couple of times but that last time he was sleeping soundly and I didn't get a chance to talk with him. I wish I had to tell him what a great friend he was. He will be missed. Linda and I will prayer for you and your family.
