I was so shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of Michael Pugliese.
It’s been many years since the days at Crossroads, but there are some people and memories from that chapter of life that you never forget. Mike was certainly one of them. He was a big personality with an even bigger presence, and judging by all the beautiful things being shared about him, he touched a lot of lives along the way.
Life moves on, people lose touch, and sometimes we don’t realize how much someone remains a part of our memories until we learn they’re gone.
Thinking of his family, friends, and everyone who loved him. Rest easy, Big Mike. I’m glad our paths crossed.
❤️
