We will forever love you Papa xo thank you for all the love, laughs, life lessons and the best recipes.
Sei stato, seppur per un breve periodo, come un padre per me e come figlio ti ricorderò per sempre. Mi mancherai molto ma la lontananza fisica giá esistente prima della tua morte mi permette di pensarti ancora in vita seppur lontano. Lovely
Dio ha deciso di chiamare a se Zio Mike ,tutta la famiglia ti è sempre vicina anche se adesso non ci sei più Pensiamo tutti che dal cielo si prenderà sempre cura di tutti noi ,e che il suo ricordo durerà e rimarrà per sempre nei nostri cuori ti voglio tanto bene zio. Le mie condoglianze.
I will always remember you Mike, especially when we were kids playing in the backyard and on the front lawn on Winnett Ave just after you arrived in Canada. The years of Christmas holiday celebrations, the visits, the dinners, (OMG THE DINNERS), the fun, the laughs, the good times are all embedded in my fondest memories of our youths. RIP Melchiorre Patera.
Always in our hearts and minds papa. We love you and we will miss you. Our memories of you will be cherished forever. Thank you papa for all you did. Your were an amazing papa and nonno.
Arrivederci Mike, because I know I’ll see you again soon. You welcomed me like a daughter when I arrived in Canada, and you always helped me, I have not forgotten and never will.
I wanted to greet you in person but cause covid prevented me from this, but with my heart I was there with you and your wonderful family.
Ti voglio bene big Mike
