To the family of Michael Ronchetto. We are so sorry for your loss and offer our condolences.
Rest in peace, Mike. I’m sure Pepsi was waiting at the gates to embrace you. Will always remember going to Pepsi’s having a few drinks and talking. Miss those days. Our prayers are with you Edith.
Mike was strong and he loved life. Pepsi and Edith devoted their lives to his care. We will miss seeing him sitting out front in the sunshine. He loved his model trains. Our prayers go out to Edith, Gary and the family. Rest Mike, we will miss you. Raymond Minnis and Charlene.
I think every child hood memory I had growing up in Palmer involved long talks with Mike while we sat outside and were on our way to the park. As an adult I even went back quite a few times and was happy to see him and Pepsi!!! RIP Mike!
Condolences to Edith and the rest of the family. Sure going to miss not seeing Michael sitting outside and waving as I go by. Sending hugs and prayers to all.

Our condolences to Edith, Gary, Mary and Family. Mike had an indomitable spirit for life! May God’s Perpetual Light Shine Upon him!
My condolences to Edith and all of Mike’s family. Mike and I had little history, yet his gregarious nature led to a nice friendship. I loved visiting the bar and talking with Mike, Pepsi, and Edith. He would ask about mutual friends from Kincaid and I’d do my best to give an update. Never a complaint from him. Rest easy Mike.
I’ve only heard wonderful things about Mike. We had never met. I am sorry for his family’s loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I don’t think I ever remember Mike without a smile and wave! A loving special man who will be greatly missed.
Fly high sweet Mike!
Farewell Mike. RIP

My sympathy to the family. God’s speed Mike!
I had not met anyone with the strength, endurance & kindness
that Mike displayed on a daily basis.
He was one of a kind for sure and a blessing and inspiration to know and to care for.
Love you Mike, you are greatly missed; until we meet up again! ♥️ 🕊
Prayers for peace & thoughts in our hearts for Edith, Mary, Gary & family.
Rest In Peace!!
