I am very sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. I have great memories of him while working summers at the Dealership. Mike had time for everyone, was always pleasant and courteous. My Dad many times told me how fortunate he was to work with Mike, a wonderful man and the best Parts Manager ever. John Biggio Jr.
Gloria, it is with the deepest sorrow and regret that we write you on this 40th Day of Michael’s Falling Asleep in the Lord. Michael was a tremendous influence on our lives. He showed us great kindness and was a wonderful trainer for ushers. We shared many special moments after 6 pm Divine Liturgy. Our comfort is that Michael’s birth, life, and passing will always be connected to our lives. We pass Team/Biggio every day, and we shed many tears this holiday season while watching the very well done Team Automotive Holiday Commercial, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” in remembrance of Mike. Though Michael was not with us on Thursday, we raised one in his memory, and may his memory be Eternal!!
