Mike always greeted me with, “How you be?” Today, I don’t be fine, because you’re not here to ask me! To your family, My sincere condolences. May his memory be a blessing.

My thoughts and prayers to Jenny & the boys. What I remember most about Mike is his love of antique cars and auto shows. He was always teaching the boys how to fix things. Though very quiet, sometimes he would have a comment that brought a smile to my face. You will be missed. Rest in peace Mike.

An ever lasting kiss seals the memories of a lifetime we made. The single teardrop that fell from your closed eye while at your bedside was your sad- sad goodbye.
May your spirit be our guide and in my heart you will live eternally. 💔

Dad, those garage days were unforgettable. Mom had to bring us inside since we had lost track of time with the endless projects you showed me so much about. I learned a lot during our garage days. You taught me what I know now, and it shaped who I am. Mom made sure we were fed and happy while working on cars and projects. I shall not forget you. Thank you for being my father. Those lovely moments together will always help me get through.

Love your son, Justin Raffe.

Dad, Thank you for giveing me the confidence of riding my bike alone and going across the tracks. And also teaching me how to make stuff in the garage and mom made sure we were happy while we worked on our 1988 corvette
And she was always there for us To. And Dad was not just My friend. But my Best friend 🧡

Mike
You will never know how much you were loved and always thought of. We have so many happy childhood memories that we shared. The loves of your life were cars. You were happiest under a hood or driving. I hope that you are driving on the big raceway up there.
Love
