My family owns the Colonnade Diner Staten Island NY and Mike would always sit at the counter and we would talk alot.I feel especially saddened because I haven't spoke to Mike in over 2 years and it is so strange how I even found out about his passing on. . Last night at work, I remembered Mike for whatever reason it was. I looked at an old Christmas card he sent me to the Diner a few years back and he had his tel# written inside of it. I called the number and that number was disconnected. I knew right away something was wrong, somehow I knew. So now when I just got home from work I just for shot in the dark chance I decided to type his name and the town where he lived on a search on-line and sure enough, I saw the obituary and the Funeral Home info IMMEDIATELY. I feel so saddened. Mike was my friend. God Bless you Mike and rest your weary soul buddy. I'm gonna miss you and I am so sorry I haven't kept in contact with you the last couple years and I hope you got the newspapers I sent from staten island that you wanted to read since I know that was the last time I spoke to you. Anyway, I'll see you on the other side......... Pete Platis
