Mrs. Carreiro & Family
My sincere condolences go out to you and your entire family for you loss. Mike was a dear friend with such an engaging personality. My memories of Mike go all the way back to his childhood when he hung around Wesconn. He would tell me how he liked to come watch our games and practices when I played there. Later after an outstanding soccer career at Danbury High School I recruited Mike to come play for our local team. He helped us win numerous league titles and was so well liked and respected by his teammates. He was such a great athlete and loved to compete. After a successful run with our team he decided to move to Florida but he always kept in touch with me and many of his teammates. When we would bring our current team down to Florida for tournaments Mike would make it a point to come spend time with his old friends. Mike valued his friendships and touched many of our lives in a special way. Just recently he
committed to travel to Virginia Beach so he could come play with many of his former High School teammates again and help us compete in a Tourney. That was Mike always there for his friends. I can only tell you we all cared for him and although he will be greatly missed he will never be forgotten !!!
