Mike, my dear handsome cousin. you were the oldest of Papa Joe & Della Biancardi’s grandchildren. Since you were much older than me, I got to know you in our adult lives. I love your kindness, generosity, your sense of humor and especially that devilish smile.  Thank you for sharing family memories with us younger cousins & being the best role model for us to look up to. you were so proud to be Italian!!! Thank you for being so kind to me in Florida. You will be greatly missed! My condolences & prayers go out to Jennifer & family as you mourn the loss of this LIGHT in your lives. You can now be with your “baby” Sue Ellen as you affectionately called her. Say hi to my mom & dad for me. Eat some lasagna. I’ll miss your warm bear hugs! I love you! 💗 Rest in peace 

So very sorry for your loss.  We were classmates at Bishop Noll and football and baseball teammates.  We both went off to Indiana State University together.  We had many great times together growing up in East Chicago.
