"Michael Martello
October 5, 1966 - June 2, 2009
Rest In Peace
It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of a great teacher
and an even better friend. At around 9:30 this morning, Mike Martello,
age 42, passed away in Antwerp, Belgium, due to a congenital heart
condition (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome).
Born 5 October 1966, Michael Anthony Martello has played many roles
and touched many lives. Overcoming personal obstacles and helping
people to find their own way, these last few years were among
Mike's happiest. Mike loved his family and his students.
Mike lived life fearlessly and without regret. Mike died loving life.
If you have fond memories of Mike and would like to share, please
e-mail them to me at [email protected] and I will be sure to
share them with his loved ones.
