My thoughts and prayers are with the Vozza Family. Michael will be missed dearly. Rest in peace my beloved cousin Michael.
Our condolences go to Rosemary, Aniello, Anthony, Maria, and the entire Vozza Family on your loss. Michael will truly be missed by everyone. We will forever be grateful to Michael for all that he has done for Uncle Ronnie and I during our time of sickness.
Dear Michael, I never got the opportunity to tell you how fortunate you are to have married into the most compassionate and close family I have ever known. Rosemary, niece and your three beautiful children are in good hands. Let them feel your arms around them as you hold them tight, in times of need. Let them feel your presence, when they are lonely. Let them smell your scent when they are content. Let them see your handsome smile when you are so proud of their accomplishments. Let them hear your voice when they have to make a difficult discessions. You have been given a very special gift from God. You have the power to take care of you family, from heaven, by keeping them save from harm. They are so fortunate to have fond memories as a husband and a daddy, who is now their very own and special guardian angel. God bless the Vossa and Pugiese family, Those on earth and in heaven. With much love and affection, Francine

Dear Michael, I can't honestly say this is without a doubt one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I don't even know the right words to say. Michael, you were there the day I was born. It was you who was there on the day of my baptism. You and rosemary were the ones to baptize me which means more than anything in the world to me. It was you who played the role of my godfather on that day and for the rest of my life. You were the man who danced with me on my first birthday and on my communion and it was you who was there behind me every step of the way. I will never forget you living in Brooklyn and I slept at your house all the time and you always asked me to stay for days and treated me like your daughter. When you moved to jersey I was over a lot more often and the memories started to multiply. I have known you my entire life and I am so grateful to call you my cousin. You were the life of every party and the heart of every joke. You would get such a kick out of teasing my dad which made me laugh for hours at a time until I basically cried. You were his best friend and he as well as the rest of us miss you so much. Michael no party will ever be the same without you and summers will be so lonely without the fires up through the trees, the sparklers on the grass, the barbecues in that red du-rag, the famous " Scarface water gun and who can forget the neon colored shirts to go along with the famous suede shoes. Although you may no longer be with us these are the memories that keep you alive and with me today. This incredible bond we shared will live on for eternity. You were and always will be an amazing cousin and a remarkable person. I miss you so much that it hurts. But I want to thank you for all of the love and care that you have given me for seventeen years . I love you more than words can describe. You will always and forever have a place in my heart. May you rest in peace forever Michael <3 I love you. Love always, Your cousin Taylor <3
I truly do not think it is possible to explain the pain the whole family went through these past couple of days. Michael was the only one who always made everyone laugh and smile because he was just one of those guys who everyone loved to be around. I remember when I used to be terrified of Mike because I was always afraid that he would throw me in the pool and that's what I hated most when I was younger. As the years went by, I grew up to realize that Michael was the one person who I knew that could always make me laugh. I don't understand how God could take such an amazing person away from his family. He was the type of person that would give the clothes on his back to another person. I knew I could always count on him if i had a problem because every time i would see him, he would always tell me that if i ever needed him or ever needed to just talk that i could call him at anytime. Michael not being here anymore just doesn't seem real. To me, it's a horrible nightmare that I just need to wake up from to hear Michael making jokes about someone. There are so many memories that I will never let go of that I will share with my children when i get older. I can tell them how much fun he was and how he was defiantly a one of a kind person. Not a minute goes by where i don't think of the countless memories that we created over the past 15 years. The fires up to the trees, sparklers putting the grass on fire, the endless amount of hamburgers and hot dogs, and the long hours of playing in the pool will all be just some of the memories that will stay in my head for the rest of my life. It's so hard for me to sit here writing this without a tear falling from my eye. I just can't even begin to imagine what life without Mike "The Solution" is going to be like. You were such an important person to me who I know i could trust with my life and I will never forget about you. Watch over all of us down here and keep us safe. I Love you so much and this is not goodbye forever, it's I'll see you again someday. Rest Easy Cousin Mike.
Dear Roe & Family, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I am so sorry for your loss. We only met once but I feel as if we have known each other longer. I know you are a very good friend to Tami and any friend of Tami's is a friend of mine. Be strong and always remember the love. Love Donna and Family
There are no words to describe the heartache, shock that is going through everyone right now. Michael was a man of many words. He would take the shirt off his back for you if needed. I met Michael when I was 11 years old. It was Michael, Rosemary, Andriann, and me. I remember like it was yesterday - sitting on the stoop of my old house on New Utretcht avenue. I had pig tails in my hair. At age eleven I wanted to shave my legs and of course I wasn't allowed to. Michael came to my rescue. He told me to follow him into the bathroom and we put Nair on my legs. :) Another memory was when the day Aniello was being born. I was in Kingsborough College and had to take an early childhood final. Michael waited outside school for me to finish so I can be at the hospital. He used to call me the virus because he could never get rid of me. I can never forget my sweet sixteen the biggest snowstorm March 13 - Michael along with my brothers picked up and dropped off all my friends for my surprise party. Who could forget going to Sesame place with them and Aniello at 18 months. Michael always loved my cooking especially pasta with alfredo sauce and vegetables or chicken cutlets (joking). He would come to my house and say "So what do you have to Eat?" No matter what Michael always had my back. He always made fun of my driving. Who could forget 18th avenue and 61st street. Every Friday or Saturday night at your parents house eating. Remember Nicole's blind dog I was scared of. Walking to Aldos and getting pizza or going to the feast. Or the Fourth of July in your backyard in your pool. To my daughter Gabriella , Michael was his boyfriend and she was his girlfriend. Explaining to her that he is no longer here was one of the hardest things. He loved her so much and like he was with me, he was with her. He always got her out of trouble. He was never scared to do anything and always had a reason for doing things. He took leaps of faith and then worried how to deal with what came afterwards. Michael was my handyman. Whatever I needed either hung up or put together he was there. There are two shelves that I had and was going to ask him to hang for me. He left us too soon. There were still thing needed to be done. I promise you Michael - Rosemary, Aniello, Anthony, and Maria will be watched and taken care of. We need you to watch over us. As I sit here typing this I still cannot believe that you are gone. We will love you and miss you forever. Gabriella remembers you letting her ride the tractor, sitting on Brandy, letting her play in the dirt, and swimming in the pool. You are forever in our hearts!!!!!!!!!!

MICHAEL IS KNOW AN ANGEL AND LOOKING OUT FOR YOU. LOVE RALPH AND KEITH.
I never got to meet Michael in person but we worked on a project together several months ago where I spoke with him just about every other day. I found him to be smart, funny, and just an all around good guy. I am praying for peace and comfort for you that can only come from the Father at a time like this. Michael will be missed by his McKesson family.
Dear Rosemarie, there are no words to make your pain go away. Know that we are all praying for Michael, you and your entire family.

Michael, you always made everyone laugh. We are missing you terribly. Please help Rosemary and kids get through this difficult time. You will always be a part of our lives. We love and miss you - Annie, Tommy and the boys.
The pain we feel when someone leaves our life is in direct proportion to the joy they bring while they are a part of our life. For while some people have a shoulder to cry on; even in your hour of sorrow may you always remember the gentle singing of the lark. You do not walk alone, always remember no one is just another person; may you see God’s light on the path ahead when the road you walk is dark.
