I didn't have the honor of really knowing Mike, but met him recently and thought he was just the sweetest man! My thoughts and prayers are with you Roz - and I hope you cherish all your fond memories you shared together, and speak of them often - and Mike will live you you forever.

Dear Roz, Sue, Phil and Family,
Mickey was always so kind to us whenever we had gatherings. He listened to others carefully and had such a thoughtful caring manner. We will miss him. Our prayers are with you, that you can adjust to life without him, and feel happiness for him that he is in a place we all hope to be in heaven some day. Our deepest sympathy, Laura and Bob McCabe

Dear Gassners,
Bernie and I are thinking of you and sending our love.
So many memories were made in your house on Haynes Road.
While I'm sure I had many more conversations with Roz than with Mr. Gassner,
Mr. Gassner was always a calm and confident dad who made me feel welcome. I can't believe that I didn't know about his various businesses (the French Cleaners for one), until just a few years ago.
I am so glad we all got some time to visit in Boston last year. So much love in one family. He will be missed. May your wonderful memories help to sustain you. Love, Hallie

I am saddened to hear of Mickey's passing. He was a kind and gentle man with a warm, loving and lovely family. The Selwyns, including my aunt and my grandmother, were all so fond of him, as well. I will be thinking of all of you during this very difficult time.
