Prayers go out to the D'Aquila Family, Michael will always be remembered by me for the fun and kind person he has always been. I will cherish many fond memories of Michael when we sold the condos at Grand Manor Estates, and a few trips Michael and Gayle and my husband and I took to Niagra Falls, Canada. He always spoke about his love he had for his children and grandchildren. He will be missed. . Now he is resting peacefully with his wife Gayle. God Bless him and all his family and Friends.

Mike had a kind and generous heart. He was a hard worker and accomplished many wonderful things in his career. He was very knowledgeable in the construction industry having been owner of MMI, a structural steel fabricating and erection company and developing and constructing Grand Manor, condominiums, among other things.. His family and close friends were paramount in his life His joy was in making others happy, Little Lola was his constant companion. We were friends for over 30 years and shared many fun times, sad times and just being good friends. With our thoughts and payers for Mike, his family and friends who will all miss him so. He is with Gayle now, the love of his life!!
