To Linda and Mike's entire family please accept our sincere condolences on Mike's passing. Mike and I first met in the 6th grade where we both attended Woodward Rd. School, but everyone in the town knew Coletti's farm. Mike was my HS football teammate and we played CYO and a lot of summer league basketball together. Through it all his smile, strength and loyalty to friends and family never wavered. His was not only a great friend but more importantly a great person in every way. May he rest in peace.

Our deepest condolences to Mike’s family and close friends. He was always such a gentleman and all around terrific guy. Knowing him throughout our childhood years and working with him to help coordinate our NPH 1967 class reunions was a great pleasure. He was truly one of “the bestâ€!

I am truly at a loss for words over losing Mike. We were neighbors as children, classmates until graduation in '67, colleagues and friends always. Though I didn't see any of the family as much lately, I feel a real hole in my heart knowing he is gone. Please accept my condolences.

Deepest sympathy to the entire Coletti family. From the 6th grade at Woodward Road School (now Whelan School) through graduating from NPH in 1967, Mike and I were classmates. There are no words to describe the sadness I felt when learning of his passing. He was just an all around great person. Everyone would be lucky to meet someone like Mike Coletti in their lifetime. Rest in Peace.
