One of the kindest, most sincere, truthful, reasonable, and bright men in life who was always filled with joy, laughter and love of his family and respect for his co-workers and other citizens. My uncle will be sorely missed.
My sincere condolences to the Ferrucci family on the loss of their father. I first met Mike as a young man working at the New Haven Courthouse when he was a AFSCME rep. He was well respected and a good leader. Mike cared deeply for the workers he served as a rep and as directors of the State AFSCME Union. Mike will be missed dearly. In addition I worked with his son Paul who was a good man too. Thank you Michael for all the work you did on my behalf those many many years ago.
Linda,
I am so sorry to see this. Had I seen it yesterday instead of today I would have been there. Your parents were so good to me growing up. My second family. My deepest condolences May the memories you hold with in your heart bring comfort to you at this most difficult time.
