Dear Heidi,

This morning, I just learned about your loss of Michael. I am so very sorry. I remember you talking about Michael at our 50-year class reunion last August. 

This year has brought many losses, including our first grade teacher, Marilyn Melhuish (age 88), and another classmate, Cindy Engell Vanco (they both passed away on April 16, 2023).

Since the reunion in August 2022, many women from our class have been getting together for lunch the 2nd Friday of each month (most recently at the McKean Tavern). Linda (Rummel) and I joined the group for the first time in May. The next time you're visiting Edinboro, maybe it will correspond with the date of a luncheon and you could join us. 

Just know that I am thinking about you, my friend.

I am so sad to have just learned that Dr. Chanatry passed away.  I am a former patient of his and he was the very best at what he did.  He was professional, honest, compassionate and kind.  My deepest sympathy to his family.  May god bless you all and may he rest in eternal peace!  Angie Chriest

I recently learned of the passing of Dr. Michael Chanatry. He was known to most of us as Mike, and was a warm and generous person. He was also an exceptional periodontal surgeon who was respected by the entire North Florida dental community. Mike was very involved with the Florida Mission of Mercy, a charity dental event offering free dental care to over thousands of the underprivileged and needy. He was a true gentleman and was loved by all who knew him. I feel fortunate to have known him and to be considered not only a colleague, but also a friend. 
It is with great warmth and sympathy that I write this note. I know that he will be missed dearly by his wife Heidi and their two children Michael and Ally. I know that they will find comfort through their wonderful memories.

I am so sorry to learn of Mike's passing. He was a wonderful person. I remember the days we would work together in his father's store. My condolences to Heidi and the family.

It was the summer of 1971, after our sophomore year of college. On a whim, Mike and I jumped in to my recently purchased 1966 Pontiac Tempest. We departed on a Friday after work. We returned nine days later, late on a Sunday night so we could return to work the next morning. In those ten days we drove to California and back. Along the way, we had a blast. It was epic.
The next summer, i.e. 1972, Mike and I decided to do it again. Two guys who declined to go on the 1971 excursion did not want to miss out again.  I guess our awesome stories set the hook. One guy was my college roommate, Kurt Rockstroh.  The second guy was Paul Schrader, a friend and fellow classmate at Notre Dame of both Mike and myself. Paul has sent some photos of this trip with his condolence message. It was basically the same trip, to the West Coast and back in ten days. It was an equally great trip. Every time each of us would talk to another, we would reminisce. They were trips of a lifetime The trips and Mike will never be forgotten.

Well that pic sure captures his famous grin. When I would see that back in the day I always had the feeling he knew something the rest of us didn’t. 
Peace & Love to Heidi & Family

So sorry to hear that Michael has passed.   I shall keep all of you in my prayers 🙏 ❤️. 

Heidi, Michael, Ally and my cousins who have and always will be my second set of siblings. My heart , love and condolences to each one of you. You have lost a large part of you. Mike was a warm, loving and wonderful person . He will be forever missed and remembered. Mike and I came in to this world 5 days apart in 1950. Our bonding began in St. Luke’s hospital’ nursery. It was a blessed and special bonding he and I shared throughout our lives. We spent many hours together at Sito’ house, where he grew up, the Verona Beach camp, working to get her at the family store(Chanatry’s), at Notre Dame high school  and, on occasions, the golf course. I loved every moment I spent with him . I will miss our birthday greetings. Life will not be the same without Michael . I will miss him dearly.  Until we meet again Mike , I love you and know that you have been lifted into Heaven on the wings of Angels.

Such a kind, generous and funny man. He was an amazing boss. One of the best I’ve ever worked for and I am a better person for having known him. 

Heidi, our thoughts and prayers are being sent to you and your children.
