We have such fond memories of all the happy times our families shared together over several decades, and the close friendship Mike shared with our late father. Mike had a gentle soul and will always be remembered for his kindness, humanity and wonderful sense of humour. He will be dearly missed. May he rest in peace. Love, the Banducci Family

Norma, Ricardo and Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. I have many fond memories as a kid growing up while hanging out at the barbershop or family get togethers. Mike used to make me laugh when he would often tell a joke, as he often began laughing himself ahead of getting to the punch line. Thanks for the memories he truly was an honourable and dedicated family man and will be missed by all who knew him. Sorry we were unable to be there to honour Mike.

So many wonderful memories will forever be close to my heart. I feel so lucky to have had so many chances to make those lasting memories at the Bocce Club, the card table, or even just for dinner at Nonna and Nonno's. So much love and many condolences. Zia

To Mike's family;

Sincere condolences to each of you on Mike's passing. What a wonderful man. Such a positive, funny, hardworking, and kindhearted person. He was so devoted to his family. He was also very devoted to his profession as a Barber. I'm grateful for the years I worked with him and Lou. We always had a lot of laughter in our days together behind the barber chair. Mike would often have a great joke to tell. He was a very special part of my career. I will always remember him through the fond memories.
