Thank you to all of Michael's friends for the love and support you showed for him at the memorial service and the loving messages here in his guest book. My mother and family were touched by the love and generosity. The money donated through a collection made by his friends was used for a monument at his grave site. It was more than generous.
Michael was blessed to have so many caring and loyal friends.
Thank you also to Kurt at Hopler & Eschbach for his great job, and for making a difficult time easier.

Mike was a friend of mine in Highschool & although I hadn't seen him in 30 years, I can still see his infectious smile & hear his easy laugh like it was yesterday. He was kind, gentle, and the very definition of mellow. The tragic news of his passing has shocked & saddened his large circle of friends. My deepest condolences to Mike's family. We love you Quin.

I knew Mike in high school, and though I have not seen him since then, or been in touch, the news of his passing was terrible to receive. We were part of the same circle of friends and the loss of one of us reverberates in all. He will be missed by many, and loved always by his friends. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Mike was a member of a special brotherhood we had in high school, and I will always cherish the greatest lesson he taught me - "Jim! Don't freak out, man!" Mike P mentioned the blender, which if you knew Mike in those halcyon days of youth, was an elaborate creation of dystopic fantasy of his immense imagination... I will never forget that, or him. I was glad to reconnect with him via Facebook after 15 years, and ironically in the moment of his passing, we were all planning to get together soon. I wish we could have before he died. If there is a justice in the infinite mind of God, then Mike is enjoying the best grilled cheese right now... Much Love to all.

Sorry to hear of Mikes passing. We were childhood friends, growing up on Shubert street in Binghamton. Have memories of the two of us always having a great time with the great bunch of friends we hung out with. Gods peace be with his family now.

I've been thinking about my friend Mike Quinlivan since his passing this weekend. I've read a lot of beautiful comments from my oldest and dearest friends but have not sat down to write until now. Like so many of the experiences I shared with Mike, this one taught me something about myself. I am much better at compartmentalizing than I realized. There is always so much to do, it forces some thoughts and feelings into the quiet times in the middle of the night. Too often the next day starts and ends and I still have not responded to that email or text from someone reaching out. Yes, I am better at compartmentalizing than I thought, but that is not always a good thing. Thank you Quin for teaching me another lesson. I hope you have found a comfy chair and a pretty woman to make you a grilled cheese sandwich. Rest in peace brother.

I learned of this 2 days ago and am still in complete shock. My most sincere and deepest condolences go out out to Michael's family. I know Michael and his mother had a very special bond back in the days when we were teens, and I am sure it only grew stronger over the years. Whenever I was over at his house, I could just tell how much love they had for each other in the way they would joke around together and how she was so protective of him. I can't imagine how you feel Lucille, and my heart hurts for you. I know Michael suffered a lot of pain due to the the M.S. and now he doesn't have to bear that anymore.
Even though I lost touch with the Mighty Quin years ago, I have thought of him often. He was a great friend in a group of very special friends in my teen years and early adulthood. I will always have very fond memories of the Quin and those days... Jamming out with Nym & The Illegal Experiment as well as others, listening to all sorts of great music, philosophizing on the meaning of life, walking everywhere, hanging out at the Unitarian church, climbing the tree behind it with a bunch of us and watching the sun set, playing frisbee at Rec park, laming out, the big grip, the blender, and on and on. Love you Quin. Peace.

Lucille and Family, I shed some tears when I received the news of Michael's death. He was my Godchild and I will always remember all the many days he spent at my house when he was growing up. He was practically part of the family!
Know that I share your grief but will be unable to attend his funeral since we are in Florida until May. God bless and comfort you. Emily

To all of Michael's family, I send my deepest condolences.
Although our lives had taken different turns in life after high school and I haven't seen Mike for many many years, from the day I first met him in the 9th grade I felt a pure honesty, warmth and sincerity unlike I have encountered since. I am sure he is free from pain now and for that I am happy. Whenever I saw Mike he was smiling and that is what I will take with me. xx Kirsten

I was the one wrote the obituary from information provided by his sister Diane, but I now realize that I was not qualified to write it. After reading all of the heartfelt postings from friends and classmates, I now know that it came up short. I never was there, or went that far back. However, I can take some solace in knowing that those who knew Michael the best made up for any shortcomings in the obituary. They who knew him best picked up the slack. He knows who you are. Thank you for your sincere and heartfelt memories of Michael. I hope that you can make it to say good-bye to him on Wednesday.
