Hey bro,
Two years ago today we went saw the one and only William Shatner in NJ. It was a blast. I wish we had a chance to do more things like that.
Miss you.

Hi Bro, Really missing you and that great sense of humor. Could use a big dose of it these days. Not to mention the cartoon and TV show trivia. Time is flying by and it only seems like yesterday that you were here and at all the family gatherings. You are truly missed.
Love you,

Michael, it truly has not gotten easier, as time passes these last 2 years. It is a loss that I cannot explain. It is a heartbreak I have never experienced. I relive the last 2 weeks prior to your death. It was heartbreaking for me to see you suffer that way and it angers me as well. No one deserved to be in that much pain. Selfishly I am so sad without you on this earth. I witnessed your pain and I have to believe you live in the hereafter pain free. That is what makes my loss of you bearable. You will always be my hero, and my Roy. Love Dale

Hey, bro...
Hard to believe it has been two years. Think of you everyday.
I watch the Jets destroy the Lions in the season opener. I know you were in the stands cheering them on.
Miss you like you can't imagine and love you!

Hello Wittich family ! Mimi Langfelder here , former neighbor and close friend from Kingsview . I’m so sorry to hear of dear Michael’s passing , too young . As some of you knew , I had a big ole crush on my best friend Patricia’s older bro ! But alas , both he and Jay were hot for my older sister , Dulcy . Mike and my paths crossed again in the 1980’s , I’ve been living in Bay Ridge , and he was a police officer in the area . We ran into each other a few times at a dive bar called “ Shorts,” on third Ave in the 70’s . I’ve held onto very special memories of all of our friendships growing up together , hard to believe he’s gone . Miss you all , love Mimi

Today is one of those days I wish I could pick up the phone and hear your voice. This year is such a monumental year and it breaks my heart you wont be here on Earth to share it with us. I know you will be watching over us with your blessings alongside Grandma, Grandpa & Uncle Bob. I try to stay positive because I know nothing we could have done would have kept you here with us without you suffering. I love you so much. Please keep watching over us

Although I think of you everyday, today is a special day that I will set aside much of the time to remember how much you meant to us all. I wish I could call you to say "Happy Birthday" and hear the new round of jokes and stories while we exchange a few Brooklyn wise-cracks. I miss you Mike. Happy Birthday.

Hey Uncle Mike,
Seven years ago we received a phone call no one would ever want to receive. Someone tried to take you from us too early. But in true Uncle mike style you stayed strong and fought hard to get back to what we considered normal lol. It was my pleasure and an honor that you allowed me to be your personal chauffeur, sidekick & coupon queen through that trying time of yours. Those months we spent together were some of the best moments we shared, we formed a bond that no one would ever understand. No one could pelt me in the side of the head with a medicine bottle like you could with a broken arm!
It’s not fair that you aren’t here, maybe I’m selfish but you didn’t deserve anything you have gone through. I miss you every day and love you
Love always,
Buzz

Well today is my birthday and it was not the same. Although this isn't my first birthday without you here. The first one I was still in shock, now this nightmare is a reality. I really missed your tons of texts & your phone call as well as my junior's cheesecake. I sit here and think about all the birthdays I did get to share with you and the many MANY times you went all out to match the theme of my party that year. You most definitely were able to pull off a coconut bra & hula skirt. I love you and miss you terribly....

Hey Uncle Mike,
I cannot believe it's been a year since our last goodbye. So much has happened this year that I wish you were a part of. There are so many times that I wanted to pick up the phone and call you about or send a text to get a laugh. You and I had a bond that no one could ever break. I know you are forever in my heart. I keep waiting to wake up from this nightmare of you being gone. I miss you terribly and love you to infinity and beyond.
Love,
Buzz & Dan

Well, I just sat here for 30 minutes staring at my screen trying to summon the words to say how much I miss and love you. As you can see, nothing! But, within those 30 minutes I remembered all the good times you and I had and how much you mean to me. Those things cannot be put into words! And since you are a part of me, you know what I want to say but cannot write.
Love ya.
Rich
P.S. - just in case you get internet in heaven!

I hope you are at peace, brother. As I am walking around the city I find myself cracking jokes as if I am sharing them with you. Maybe I am - I hope so. I catch people staring at me when I start laughing and that in itself is funny. They just don't get it - but you would. I miss you and your great sense of humor.

Dear Mike,
It is hard to believe that you are gone an entire year. I miss you all the time. I know that if you were still here, you would be helping me and Bobby in the hard times we have been having, You were always special to Bobby. You always were there for him and he sure could use your support now. I feel you are looking out for him. We both miss you.
Love,
Rita

Hi Michael, I have not written since January, yet I speak to you every day.This Labor day weekend was heartbreaking for me. It holds many different sad memories that involve you in one way or the other. 1) My heart was broken by a man I loved more than he loved me and you came to get me and we escaped NYC and took me upstate to Trisha's for the weekend. 2) Losing Dad and his funeral on Labor Day weekend 10 years ago, 3) Flying up the Friday before Labor day weekend and basically not leaving your side at the hospital until you left me on September 13th,for what some say is a better place. I have to believe it because I could not stand to see you sad anymore in this life, nor in pain. I still cannot deal with the fact that you are not physically in my life anymore. You will always be in my thoughts and in my heart but right now, selfishly, it is not enough.

Happy Father's Day! It's crazy to imagine you gone. Not a day goes by where Thea and I don't talk about you. Hiking at Bear Mountain not too long ago reminded us of the time we were all there with our pup. He loves it there just the same.
Oh! Stephen King finally made "The Dark Tower" for the big screen. I trust you will be there when we see it!!
Lots of love,
T, M, & B

On Monday March 13, you were gone from this earth for 6 whole months. It is absolutely amazing to me how the time has passed and the days have not been easy. However, on that day I will now have a positive memory because Dan got down on one knee and asked for my hand in marriage. I know how much you loved us as a couple as well as individually. You were certainly missed but I most definitely felt you present at the gathering Dan organized to completely surprise me. I love you so much and wish you were here to share this happy time with us. ~Buzz & Dan

Dear Mike:
It has been 6 mos today since we lost you but it feels so much longer. I took a few minutes and looked over the pictures on this website; some made me sad but so many made me smile! I think of you often and still miss your silly texts and jokes. The family is not the same without you. I am comforted that you are no longer in pain and that you are at peace with Mom, Dad and Bob. Waving to heaven at you little brother! Love you forever!

Hi Mike,
Yesterday was your birthday and we are all still saddened by your absence. We miss you very much. Listening to our brothers and sisters at your memorial and since then, it occurred to me that you were very much the "Big Brother" of the second 5. Thanks for being there. Your impact was special and greater than you would probably admit.
Miss you Bro!

We love you very much!

Dear Uncle Mike,
Happy 60th Birthday! As I type that I can hear you say "Wise Guy"
For the past 4 months I have been coming to this page trying to collect my feelings and thoughts in what to type. The truth is you hear every thought and feeling I have because you are always with me. To think such a monumental person in my life no longer walks this earth is heartbreaking to me. We have shared some amazing memories, both when I was a child and even as I was becoming an adult. Doesn't seem really fair that you aren't here anymore. The holidays were extremely hard, but we pulled the meal together in your honor knowing that was what you would have wanted. There is so much I miss about you...
Keep watching over all of us and say hi to Grandma, Grandpa & Uncle Bob for me.
Love you to infinity & beyond
Love,
Buzz

Family gathering at my house for all the major holidays until I moved south. I miss that the most since I moved and you always there for just about all of them. I still am struggling with your untimely death. Happy Birthday Roy. Dale is not the same with out you. You took a piece of me with you. Love and miss you more not less each day. Helene

Mike has been a part of our family since he was 5 and still is today. He left us with lots of love, laughs and precious memories. We may lose our loved ones here, but God gives us the memories to keep them in our hearts. To all the Wittich family, thank you for sharing your brother/father with us. I'm so grateful to have met you all at the service. I felt as though I've known you all these years. He talked about you all and loved you dearly. God bless each of you. Love you Mikey!!!

Dad,
It's been really difficult for me to find words to express how I feel. Not one day has gone by where I don't think about you, and the shock that is felt that you are gone. I'm confident you were able to feel the love that was shared for you on Saturday, as we laid you to rest. It was truly beautiful.
Thea and I will do the best we can to have your grandchildren know the man you were. Whether it be from the values you've taught, the pictures we are saving, or the family we have, you will not be forgotten.
We've got it from here.

Today, in a lovely town in New York, a family laid to rest a brother, best friend, father, uncle, a man who was truly loved. I had the honor of being amongst those who came to say good-bye to you Mike Whittich. My memories of you as a child often make me smile. Each summer I looked forward to your visit - your stay at the house next door. You provided friendship to a lonely country kid, and I learned all about what it was like to be part of a big family who lived in a big city. Through our adult years we lost touch, but the memories never faded. Reconnecting with you years ago brought a new thread to our friendship. You offered positive solutions to every-day challenges, jokes and laughs and humor that always left we wondering what you would post next, and a friendship that was supportive and true. When my family needed help the most you stepped forward in a way I will never forget. You left me in awe that day - that someone would accept me and love me just as I was, and not hesitate in any way to offer assistance. You told me "a friend is a friend forever", and Mike, that is true. As my friend you are no longer on the Earth, but you are not gone Mike. And you are my friend forever, waiting in another place. The love overflowed from that room today, out to a resting place that is shaded and sits atop a lovely hill, with a breathtaking view. Rest in peace Mike, and know that you were truly and deeply loved by so many. The smiles and hugs and memories you brought into the lives of so many will never be forgotten, will be forever cherished, and shared time again. Love you Mike.

As you know and anyone that knows me I am a very private person. I am in shock and still can't understand how this happened. We were friends for 45 years and have always considered you my best friend. You were always an outspoken person but you were always nice guy with an open heart. A lot of people didn't understand you but I believe that I did. I realized a long time ago that the best way to get along with you was not to judge you and accept you. I never judged you and always accepted you for who you were. There were so many reasons I called you my best friend and one reason was that I knew I could always count on you whenever or wherever I needed. I knew you always had my back and would be there if I needed you. In return I offered the same but I feel I was never as generous as you were to me. I just wish you asked for my help when you needed it the most. We had a great friendship because we didn't judge each other. If anyone tried to judge you I knew you would not accept them into your world. I know all you ever wanted from anyone and everyone was to be accepted. I accepted you for who you were and my family (Patricia, Jennifer, Dan and Jonathan) accepted you and loved you for what you brought to our lives. We were a much happier family because of you. You will truly be missed.

Dear Mike,
You have made a lot of people very sad by your untimely passing. It is hard to believe it has been a month. You will always be remembered for you laughter, jokes and could always bring a smile (not to mention a hearty gut busting laugh) to all who knew you. You are missed and in all of our thoughts and prayers. Love, Nora

Dear Mike,
It has been over a week, and I am still stunned and very saddened by your passing. You had just turned 10 when I left home at the invitation of our Uncle Sam. My trips home since then have all seemed too short and much too infrequent. I remembered you as a fun and mischievous boy, and I grew to know you as a strong, determined and loving man (who still appreciated fun and mischief). At family gatherings, it was a certainty that you would be at the center of most outbreaks of uproarious laughter.
I am proud of your service with the Army Reserve and fondly remember our visit while you were training in Alabama. I am especially proud of your service with NYPD wearing our grandfather’s badge number. I doubt that many people understood the challenge and sacrifice of serving as a police officer back then, and still don’t today.
I will miss your phone calls, emails, and texts with your unique take on current events. I am thankful we had our Bro Trip 08 and the many family gatherings since then, but I wish I could have one more of your special bear hugs.
Love you Brother,
Wes

I will miss your phone calls, emails, and texts with your unique take on current events. I am thankful we had our Bro Trip 08 and the many family gatherings since then, but I wish I could have one more of your special bear hugs.
Love you Brother,
Wes

Well Mike - another year and I am still missing you a ton. It would be great to hear your take on NFL playoff weekend (sorry about the Giants and Jets - if you have any pull up there they could use your help!). And never mind your take on politics. The country could use a good laugh and you would be the one to do it.
Miss you Bro,
Jim

Cher
October 30, 2016
A number of years back, Cher was doing an HBO special of her tour. I am a big fan, and at the time had not seen her live, so I decided to have a girls only viewing at my house. Michael got wind of it, said he was a big fan and wanted to join us. I said, girls only. This went back and forth. Finally, I gave in, with one condition, he dress as a woman and remain in the outfit the entire evening. He agreed. He came dressed in my mothers house dress, a curler in his hair, and womans glasses.We couldn't contain our laughter. Thank goodness he walked in about a half hour before the show started, otherwise we would have missed the first 20 minutes. Everytime we gained control of ourselves, one of us would look over at Michael sitting there like a man, if you know what I mean, but dressed like a woman and we would lose it all over again. He was too much.
William Shatner
October 8, 2016
On February 5, 2016, Mike and I got to meet one of our heroes...William Shatner…also known as Capitan James Tiberius Kirk from Star Trek. We had a great time. Mike got me the ticket for my birthday. Fortunately, we got closer over the last couple of years…unfortunately it ended too soon.
I have lost yet another idol, role model and friend.
Love ya brother.
P.S. Tell Mom, Dad and Bob hello. Give them a hug and a kiss. Keep them laughing until I get there.
Trip to NY - Summer of 82
September 27, 2016
by Brian Moore
During the Summer of 1982, Mom, my brother Mike and I made a trip from VA to NY to visit Grandma and Grandpa as well as all the Wittich Uncles, Aunts and cousins. In addition to all the fun with family, we also got to spend a day in NY City visiting Statue of Liberty among other tourist spots.
The final stop that day was at the 68 Percent of the New York City Police Department. Uncle Mike was going to take us cousins all for a ride in a NY City Police Car. We weren't a block out of the precent before the sirens were on, horns blowing, and Uncle Mike yelling over the car’s megaphone as us kids laughed. I remember cars pulling over to allow us to get by as if we were in hot pursuit. Uncle Mike was pulling out all the stops to show us kids a good time. And that he did! (and Uncle Mike was having plenty of fun himself if I remember correctly)
When I returned to school that fall, I remember telling all my friends, classmates and anyone that would listen about how I got to ride in a NYC City Police Car with my Uncle Mike and cousins. It certainly had a lasting memory for me and often tell that story to this day. I am thankful Uncle Mike cared so much to make that memory so special!
