  5. Michael Bruzzese, a friend that never would let you down, a friend that was always there for you, a friend that always made you laugh, a friend that always knew when you needed help, a friend that would always let you know how much you meant to him.

    Mike loved sports, talk radio, Bone Thugs N Harmony, “Pittsburgh!”, “Troy Zese-a-ma-lou!”, the Navy, his family, and especially his daughter, Gianna. His daughter was the thing he was most proud of in this life, and someone he always talked about.

    We will all miss you Mike, but we will always ensure your memory stays among us for comfort, for laughs, and for the love you gave us all.

    Godspeed my brother!
