An honest, straightforward man. I am very  saddened by this!

- Karyn Lein

I’m so sorry to hear about Mike he was an honest mechanic and friend. my husband would say. He is the only honest mechanic I ever met.  We used to own Syoseet bake Shop  from 1977-1982.  Mike Was so helpful when my husband passed in 1996 I had no idea what to do with cars. I was having so many issues with my car and Mike always gave me the best advice ever.. Always think of him on Thanksgiving because when I was weak he was there for me and my teenage children. God bless you, Mike RIP. Praying For you and your family Lorraine Capobianco😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Congratulations

just got news knew Mike for over 25 years as my mechanic. Also nice helpful . Rest in peach Michael I will miss you.

My condolences to Mike's family on his passing. I was one of his first customers  always servicing
my vehicles  efficiently and honesty.
He'll be in my prayers.

I'm so very sorry to hear this sad news. Mike has always treated my family so well for over 30 years. He was always there with a ride home for my parents when their car was being serviced or coming up with the truck to shovel them out during a snowstorm. He even helped my sister-in-law out when we had a gas shortage during covid. He didn't even know her! His generosity and kindness will forever be remembered by all those he helped. May you rest in peace now after such a long battle on earth. You deserve it. Heaven has gained another angel. Please say Hi to Phil for me!

I am so sad Michael passed away.  I live near the gas station and always was so thankful he was always there for me.  I will always remember him for his kindness and sad he passed away at an early age.  My condolences to the family.  He was a wonderful man.

The shear number of messages here demonstrates the depth of the love and respect ALLhad for Mike .
Always there, always smiling, always honest, always kind . For 30 years he serviced our cars and bailed us out when the kids had car emergencies. After we retired and moved east we woukd look for an auto shop and say “ there will never be another Mike.”

May warm memories sustain you all

Back in 1997. I worked at Napa in Syosset, which was located next to Mike’s shop. One day Mike told me instead of delivering the parts, I should be installing them. My family had always brought our cars to him, and I took that as an extreme compliment. And so began my first career, thanks to Mike. He gave a kid in high school the chance to work at night. And made my skill set much stronger. I owe a debt of gratitude to Mike, *Now extended to his family. I am 44 years old, own a house in East Northport. Two sports cars in the garage. Mike instilled a work ethic in me, simply by paying me compliment. Truly a gentleman and will be missed dearly.   Tom Russell

To Mike’s beautiful family, 

We had been sending our love and prayers to  Mike throughout his illness, but now we are sending our love and prayers to all of you❤️🙏🏻

We met Mike over 22 years ago when we moved to Syosset and needed a place to get gas and have our cars serviced.  Little did we know when we chose Ferrari’s, that we would meet such a wonderful person who not only knew his business, but also knew how to share his warm smile, positive attitude and kind heart.  He hired people just like himself as well.  We have always felt grateful for Mike and his staff.  He was an exceptional human being who will sorely be missed. We know he is healed now and is in heaven in God’s care.

With our love and deepest sympathies,
Jay and Laura Odintz

Mike, I’m so sorry to hear of your passing. I know you since you were 17 and working for my Dad servicing his company fleet onsite in Plainview.

Rest in Peace Mike and I’m sure my Dad will meet you at the pearly gates and show you his new repair shop.

So sad and sorry to hear of Mike’s passing. My condolences to the family.

Laurie and I send our deepest condolences to the Ferrari family.

We have been clients of Michael for 38 years when we moved into Syosset.

Michael was always cheerful, positive and never had a bad word, even through his recent health crises and as recently as last week when he shared his devastating news.

As a businessman, Michael was very fair & honest. 

Michael is finally at peace.
We hope you can agree that Michael is in a better place now.

We send our warmest wishes to the family.

I am so sad and sorry that Mike passed away.  I have been a customer since I lived her for almost 30 years.  He was always there to help me with anything wrong with my car.  He will be truly missed by me.  When riding down Jackson Avenue at night (usually 6 pm to 7:30 pm, I automatically glanced over to see if Mike was there.  I am so sorry that he has passed away.  I know in heaven he will be welcomed and I truly hope this wonderful man rests in peace.

Unfortunately it is not until you get older that you finally realize how time flies by.   Years become decades very quickly,  and its funny how certain obscure past moments are never forgotten. 

I  remember I was 18 years old and had just bought my first car.   My uncle and aunt with family in tow were up visiting from NY.   
My younger cousin Mike was very interested in the car, and I mentioned in passing that I wanted to put fog lights on the front of it.   He looked at me with a puzzled look and asked if it was because we get a lot of fog in Toronto ?      I remember thinking,  fog (?) what a dumb kid;   no I wanted the lights to make the car look cooler. Sure enough by next day Mike had installed the lights I had bought.   The early sign of a career.

Thanks Mike for making my car look cool many decades ago.

Condolences prayers to the family, especially my loving zio and zia.

Condolences to Mike’s family. He was a class guy who had been fixing my car since 1992. All of Syosset will badly miss him RIP.

My Sympathies,
Bob Roma

I have been a customer for 22 years, Mike has always been a kind and very respectful person, I had my share of medical issues and regardless of his own issues, Mike was there to listen. I will miss you Mike,  RIP and my deepest condolences to your family.

I’m so sorry to hear of Mike’s passing.  He was such a wonderful man.  May God bless you and give you strength at this most difficult time.    Fondly, Christine Peck❤️

I am beyond saddened by this.
For the last 25 years Mike has been such a huge help to me and my two children.  He always had a way of "calming" me down while I was in a "car state of panic!"  He helped my daughter millions of times with everything...
We will miss him greatly...
A true special man...

Sorry for your loss...

My deepest sympathy to The Ferrari Family on your loss . He has
dealt with so much the last few years and still  continued to have an  amazing work ethic even dealing with illness .    Mike I will miss our Good Morning and Good Night calls we had over 35 plus years. Once the stress of this business was done most days we had kind words going over your nightly bills. Felt empty the last few days not hearing well good morning lets see what happens today.  Miss you my friend

Rest well in Christs embrace
For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
