Mikey, Tom Tom, Tominelli.....I miss your laugh, quirky phone calls and all around interactions in the office. I wish heavenly angel and hope you keep up the laughter up in heaven.

you are truly missed and never forgotten...don't forget to cover your coffee lol

Mickey T, there's not a day that goes by in which I don't think about you and your family. I talk about how great you are to people who don't even know you because you were that special. I know you're painting the world fantastic in heaven but you are deeply missed. There will never be another like you and you hold a special place in my heart forever...

I just thought about Mike the other day when Milky Chance came on in the car.. I always think of him when they do.. sending you and your family so much love and prayers on this day <3

Wow where has time gone. Myself and a few of the girls were just talking about you of course always good things. We even toasted to you and talked about what a dedicated worker you were and how you were one of nicest people we knew. You always took time out to stop and talk and make us laugh. You truly are one of a kind and will never be forgotten. Heaven as gained a true Angel.

Mikey!! Tommy!! Tominello!! Mikey T!! Mikey Muscles!! Falling Down!! ...TOOL!!   God, if I only had that picture of Mikey in his 80’s muscle pants to post...another breakfast with Mikey and Ali The Octopus- eggs, bacon, cheese and potatoes on a Portuguese long roll/large coffee, milk NO sugar...the man knew how to eat, knew how to live...infectious laughter and smile, master of small-feel good-talk, raspy- can’t catch your breath laughter, makes you feel “funnier than you actually are” type of laugh...the guy was truly phenomenal and even though he was a twin, he was truly one-of-a-kind. I sat with, worked alongside and learned a tremendous amount from the man for 11 years. I watched him eat cereal, Cheerios mostly, with 3 other cereals mixed in (and the tips of his fingers) out of a cup on almost a daily basis...Mikey wore his heart on his sleeve...Mikey’s wrestling name would have been “The Human Emotion”- there was no pencil, keyboard, or sandwich that Mike could not handle!! He truly loved and was proud of his family, he loved his friends, hated T2T’s (wink) and Yoshida’s late day trading strategies and a few other work related items I can’t mention!!! Mikey epitomized the phrase “Salt of the Earth”... Experiences in life teach us that there aren’t many people who you can not only call, but count on, at 3am ... OR even better yet, who will call/text YOU at 4am religiously (with a Broadridge question that he already knew the answer to!!)... Mikey was one of the few triple threats in our industry...hard-working, humble and true...The man was a staple in my 11 years at Mizuho and it’s strange just how much you actually learn from someone simply via osmosis. I actually wrote this last year but couldn’t bring myself to send it out. Mike and I had spoken April 2nd over text, we missed each other’s phone calls on April 3rd and 4th...I text him to follow up on April 6th...it was beyond heartbreaking to hear the news the following day. Over the course of the past year, to honor Mikey, every time I drink red wine, I drink it over ice- so the legend lives on...Babs, Brandon, Little Mikey and the rest of the Tominelli circle of family and friends...Michael “Douglas” Tominelli, will always be remembered well and with vivid memory...
Rest In Peace my friend

I meet Mike in February 2020 at MIZUHO and we became friends. He was a very kind, humble and a good man. He introduced me to the cold brewed coffee. Mike's passing is so painful and I will never forget him. Rest in peace my friend!

Mike was a very special person who will be greatly missed. I remember the good time that I had working with Mike and the professionalism that he shared. My condolences to Barbara and his children.

Mike was one of the nicest and genuine people I met and I'll never forget. He always managed to put a smile on my face. My condolences to his family. RIP Mikey, I would never thought this .

Mike was the nicest guy. He's well known for his 5 AM emails, but we would see ones even earlier. Super dedicated, but more important than that, he was always pleasant when you'd talk to him. No matter how busy he was, he was never snappy or rude or anything like that. It was really appreciated. My condolences to his family and loved ones. He will be missed.

Heartfelt condolences to Barbara and her family. I always enjoyed seeing Mike's genuine smile and small talk about the Yankees. He was a true, kind gentleman that many of us should continue to emulate in his memory. God bless you Mikey Muscles. 

Tim

Mike was one of the nicest coworkers I have ever met. He always offered help when I had questions at work. We used to take the same path train from Hoboken office and he would share stories of his sons with me. My sincere condolences to Mike's family and he will be greatly missed!

Mikey (Tom Tom) you made everyone laugh, you laughter was contagious and you had such a huge heart. It has been such a pleasure to have worked with you and to have known you. You will truly be missed by all!!

My deepest condolences to the whole family.

Mikey T was one of a kind. When I was living in Bay Ridge we got to commute together (more so on the way home, then on the way there, because we all know he was on the way into work at 5am). I enjoyed talking to him about his boys and our favorite spots to eat. His laugh was my favorite. He was the most dedicated employee I've ever worked with. Answering emails at all hours of the night and helping anyone out that he could. I really will miss you Mike!!! My thoughts are with Barbara and his sons and his entire family. Rest in Peace my friend!!

Dear Barbara, Michael and Brandon,

My sincerest condolences to you and your family. You are in my thoughts daily, and my husband and I are praying for your strength and comfort.
Love and peace.

While I did not have the opportunity to meet Mike personally, I was extremely saddened to hear this news. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family and friends. RIP our Mizuho Colleague.

Tokyo was absolutely devastated to hear about Mike. We would like to send our deepest condolences to his family and teammates.
It was such an honor to be able to work with Mike. We relied on Mike so much. Whenever there was an urgent issue, we woud ask for his help, and under any circumstance, he would always tell us how much he was willing to help us. Words cannot express how thankful we are.
All of his kindness and dedication will not be forgotten.
Thank you so much and Mike will always be in our hearts.

My deepest condolences to Mike's family, relatives and friends. May God gives patience and strength to pass thru this difficult time. Rest is peace Mike.

At Mizuho, I was the Chicago fixed income team’s sales assistant (‘08- ‘17). I spoke with “Tominelli” EVERY business day for over 9 years.

He was never too busy to be helpful or go the extra mile. That was the culture of the Hoboken Ops Team. I feel fortunate to have been able to meet my friend face to face on a visit once.

Our business convos were quick but our personal convos were not. He will be (is) missed. I write this tribute with welled up eyes.

To Mike’s family:
I’m sorry for your loss. Mike will be missed. I pray God’s covering over you all. And in the name of Jesus may you find peace and comfort in His arms during this solemn time.

Be blessed,
Luis Cuevas

My most sincere condolences to Mike's family. While I did not know Mike in person, I heard all great stories of him and his personality, and the dedication to the company. Mike, rest in peace.

Mike, your dedication to the Firm was unrivaled. May you Rest in Eternal Peace, we will all miss you.

Worked with Mike for almost 11yrs. Just a funny and genuine guy all around. I will miss talking to him about all the restaurants in Bay Ridge that we love and of course hearing that infectious laugh. You truly are one of a kind and will be missed tremendously. My heartfelt sympathy to your wife and sons. We all knew how much you loved them. May you Rest in Heavenly Peace my Friend.

My sincerest sympathy to the Tominelli Family. Sending love and prayers.

What sad news. I started with Fuji Securities in 1990, and was there when Mike joined the firm. From the start, I, along with all my colleagues in the front office, realized that Mike was someone you could depend on when you needed an answer to something or you needed something done. You could lean on Mike and he never waivered. A true professional. And, he was just a nice guy. My sincerest condolences to Barbara and his family.

Mikey Muscles.  You me and Dominic had so many laughs.  Thank you for always making our days brighter.  We were always so happy to see you.  

Love Vigg

Mike was one of the kindest, nicest and hardest working people I have ever met. He was well liked by everyone. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers and my deepest condolences go out to his family.

Mike was one of my first friends I had when joining Mizuho in the Hoboken office 13 years ago (can’t believe it’s been so long). He was one of the most kindest, nicest and hard working person you would ever meet. He was so down to earth, always willing to help and was a true family man. One of the many memories I shared with Mike was when I had braces years ago, we would always talk about when his son was getting braces, he would give me updates and ask for advice. He would never pass you in the hallway without stopping even if it was for a couple of seconds to chat. I will miss our conversations. He was a true legend of Mizuho. May you Rest In Peace. To Barbara and his sons, my deepest condolences to you. I know Mike did all of what he did for you guys. He will be truly missed.

Mikey T (as we called him) was the nicest, kindest, most helpful person I have ever met in my life. We worked together at Mizuho for more than 11 years. He taught me some much and I'm forever grateful to have known him. We had a surprise party for Mike's 50th birthday in Hoboken and he was sooo happy being celebrated by present and past co workers. We all loved him so much for just being him! His laugh was everything and it was always great running into him at the holiday parties (thanks Jen for posting the holiday picture with all of us). My heart hurts losing him but I know he's resting peacefully and his spirit is still with us. Sending healing prayers and strength to his family.

I knew Mikey Tool for 25+ years. I remember when I started working at Fuji back in 95. I was working in our Chicago office . When I would call the home office I would always get Mike. He was always willing to help me out. Right there I knew he was a special guy. He didn’t know me from Adam, but was always there for me. When I got back to New York we met. We hit it off. Over the years we became real good friends talking about food, family, friends and sports. Tool always made coming to work fun, just to hear his laugh and see his smile. Tool is one of the nicest people I ever met and I will miss him him very dearly. Even after I left Mizuho years ago we kept in touch. His texts always made me laugh. Mikey Tool may you Rest In Peace. I will never forget you! I love you! One day I’ll be coming to see you. Have a glass of red or a couple of blue moons waiting for me. Barbara, Brandon and Michael my sincere condolences on your loss.

27 years ago I went on a job interview at Fuji Securities. As soon as I got there Mikey was the first to say hello. Truth be told he was the first person I noticed due to his infectious laugh and larger than life personality. I didn't realize it then but my "work colleague" became a FRIEND. After 5 years life took me in a different direction but returned to Mizuho in 2003. It was as if I never left. In the most recent years we sat side by side for 10+ hours a day. Mikey turned from being my friend to being my family. You will be forever missed. A life taken too soon. My condolences to Barbara, Brandon, Michael and the entire Tominelli family. RIP Mikey

Mike was one of the nicest and most hardworking employee I have had the privilege to work with over the years, he was well loved by all his colleagues and I know he loved them back. His loss leaves a hole in all our hearts and he will be missed dearly. His infectious laugh and his ability to light up a room will always remain with us. My deepest sympathy to Babs , Brandon and Michael.
RIP Mike, until we meet again buddy

I read through all these tributes to Mike and the common thread was that he was just a kind-hearted genuine human being. Joe Tregs tribute actually brought tears to my eyes. I've known Mike for the past 9 years. While I did not work directly with him in Operations, we shared common bond in our love for food and family. We would often compare our botched home improvement projects and laugh and rail on our contractors. He was a beautiful person and truly one of the good guys in this business. May you rest in peace and God bless your wife and children. 

Mike was an amazing guy. Ever since i first met him, he stopped by my desk every day and check in on how I was or just to say hello. That's just the kind of person he was. Always wanted to know how you were doing and if you were good. He will be truly missed. I send my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones, and his teammates here at Mizuho.

Mike was a true Gentleman, he will be sadly missed by all who knew and worked closely with him at Mizuho.

My thoughts and prayers to Mike's family in this terrible time. Please take some solace in knowing how deeply Mike impacted everyone at Mizuho. His energy and happiness was unmatched no matter the time or place. He always had a smile on his face and a pep in his step even at 6 am when he knew everyone around him needed a boost to start the day. He will be missed. 

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. Every conversation I had with Mike had a smile and a laugh, such an awesome warm hearted person. Rest in peace my friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. God Bless.

While I did not know Mike well, I know that he was a loved and valued employee. He touched many lives with his kindness and sunny disposition. He will be greatly missed. I send along my deep condolences to his family.

It's sometimes hard to put situations like this into words but kind, compassionate, genuine, loyal, and dedicated come to mind immediately when thinking about Mikey. His work ethic was unmatched but didn't define him. He loved his family and friends with everything he had in him. He cherished nothing more than being around the people he loved with a glass of red, good food, and a lot of laughs. No matter what the situation might be when him and I came in on a Monday we'd compare our weekend meals and wish we had been together, breaking bread and toasting. Myself and my family share our thoughts and prayers with Barbara, Brandon, and Michael. We lost a true gentleman but he will never be forgotten. I know he will always be looking down on us making sure every e-mail is answered, the end of the day is complete, and we are enjoying ourselves to the fullest. Rest in peace. We will always love you and miss you.

Our gang and neighborhood has lost an incredible friend and father. The laughs and enjoyment of cocktails at the base will never be the same without you. Our condolences to Barbara, Brandon and Mikey.
Your memory will forever be in our hearts, rest in peace bro.

Consistent. That should have been Mike's middle name. From his 5 am system checkout routine, to the ever pleasant countenance , to the religious diligence with instrument setups . Mike T was always available for you, Mike T was a beloved constant who did not like changes.

This change is a painful irony. Miss you Mike Tominelli.

Recently saw Mike a lot as he would stop down on 2 because there was no cold brew on his floor, but anyone who knew or worked with Mike saw someone that they don't make anymore, a truly dedicated person. I would see him responding to TKY emails at 1 am if he couldn't sleep or he would be my first BBG msg asking me to call him as soon as I was ready to talk about an issue. Michael you'll truly be missed, as nice guy, a hard worker and the person who would respond with a "welcome' to a "ty" message...

to quote James Taylor"
"Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again"

We will all miss you Mr T...

I have had the pleasure of working with Mikey for almost 5 years. We would talk about different shows that we love. He was kind and genuine. A gentleman and a family man. Mikey would always reach out and jump in to help whenever he could. He was truly a good friend to many colleagues and will be dearly missed. My thoughts and prayers to the family. May he rest in peace.

I got to know Mike about a year ago, and it was a pleasure chatting with him every day ever since that first introduction. Mike always had such a positive attitude, a contagious smile, and never missed a saying a "good morning" to those around him. He will be greatly missed and work will not be the same without him. My deepest condolences to Mike's family and loved ones.

I was so shocked and sorry to hear about Mike. I worked with him for the past 5 years and he was such a positive and happy person. He was always willing to help with whatever issue we had. My only way to cope with this kind of loss is to think God must have needed him and that is why he is gone. We all are a little better for knowing Mike. May he rest in peace.

Mike was such a nice and hard working guy. Always logged into bloomberg early checking my overnight trades and always willing to help whatever was needed. My condolences to his family and loved ones. He will be missed.

My heartfelt condolences to Mike's family, relatives and friends. My heart goes out to all of you.

“You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”—Malcolm S. Forbes.
I only knew Mike for a short time, but he treated everyone with dignity and respect. He touched the lives of those who were fortunate enough to know him.The security team at Mizuho sends their condolences to the family. Enjoy that cup of coffee in heaven my friend.

May the happy memories of Mike help bring you some comfort in this difficult time. My deepest condolences to the Tominelli family.

Mike was always one of the first persons in the office. I will miss our early morning conversations over a cup of coffee. He was very dedicated to his work, had a positive attitude, always offered time to help however he could, and would do this while finding time for a joke and letting out his contagious laugh. My thoughts and prayers goes out to the family and may God provide them comfort in this difficult time.

No words to the news of Mike's passing. My deepest condolences to Mike's family for the loss of a vibrant soul who always had a hop in his step and his voice. He made me look old. I will miss our hallway conversations with him where he starts with "What's the good word?" He was the hardest worker I knew, first one in the office, never a day off but never let work bleed into the social conversations we had together. Last time we spoke, he was joking saying there goes my retirement money as we both glanced into the Markets in Turmoil segment on the television and I responded the beach (retirement) is not far away pal, hang in there. Rest in peace Mike, I will miss you dearly, the office will never be the same without you!

I loved seeing Mike. He always had a smile on his face and a few minutes to chat.  He was one of the friendliest people I've ever met, and he will be greatly missed. My heart hurts for his family.
