Condolences

I am so saddened to hear of Mike's passing. To me, to us, he was known as Coach. Some of my favorite memories at the Eagles Nest were spending time with Coach talking about basketball. Being from Indiana and IU, having attended back in the days of Bobby Knight whom I got to know along with many of the players from the 75 team and 76 National Champions, Mike and I had a lot in common to talk about. I also really enjoyed hearing about the how the horses were doing. He was such a wonderful and kind person. I so much enjoyed him. Just this past Sunday, not aware of his passing, I sent a text message to let him know what a great job his referee friend DJ was doing in the final game of the Big 10 Championship. Normally Coach would respond right away. When I had not heard from him, I was concerned and then found the news tonight of his passing. While I was only able to spend time with him the past few spring breaks, I will certainly miss seeing him and getting caught up. I thank God for the opportunities I did have to get to know Coach. Forever missed - blessed to have gotten to know Coach.

TO THE SKARADEK FAMILY: It is with sadness that I heard of the passing of my good friend Mike. We shared many good times at the gym, at Saratoga and at the local Pubs. He had many loves, but none greater than his LOVE for his family. As I umpired Erin’s softball games, Mike was always there to be sure the corners were called and Erin’s great control of her pitches took care of matters with great consistency. She didn’t need our help. I will miss my man and as he looks down over us, send me some of your Saratoga tips because you sure knew something when it came to handicapping. Rest In Peace my Friend , Butch Sisti

Mike was my colleague & friend of mine in the Business Department at FSCS . We shared over 20 years together. We had many laughs, overcame many obstacles. He taught many students and guided them for their future business endeavors. My condolences to Karen, Erin & family.
May Mike Rest in Peace.

I'm so sorry to hear of Mike's passing. Between his silly jokes, funny stories, and wonderful attitude on the racquetball and pickleball courts, he was in inspiration to so many. It was always a pleasure to play ball with him, and he helped everyone enjoy the games and eachother.

I will miss being with all of you in person but will be there in spirit and grieve with you.
