My condolences to Mike’s family and friends. Mike was an amazing guy. I was a staff who worked with him at his day program through Advocates in Lexington, and he was a cherished member of our group. He was someone who knew everything from sports to music to geography, and he brought so much joy to each day. We have fond memories of his deep laughs and clever jokes. The staff and his friends at day program will miss him dearly.
My condolences to Mike’s family and friends. I enjoyed his companionship as I too worked ast Kelley’s with him in the ’70’s, Good guy with a kind soul. May he rest in peace.

Sorry to hear about Mike. Or Mikey as we called him at Kelly’s. We worked together for much of his time at Kelly’s. He did a wonderful job and always had what was best for Kelly’s in mind. Thanks Mikey. Ray Carey
So sorry to hear about Mike. We worked together for quite a few years at Kellys. Lots of fond memories: playing golf after work and hanging out on Revere Beach. He was a good guy.
I worked with Mike at Kellys for many years. We had a lot of fun and adventures in the 70”s.
RIP my friend

Michael was a classmate of mine at Immaculate Conception High School class of’72. Michael always had a smile on his face and was a kind soul. I would often see him at Kelly’s in later years always coming to the window just to say hello and he still had that genuine smile on his face. RIP Michael you are now serving at the most wonderful window in the heavens, you earned your spot. Godspeed and my condolences to the entire Coscia family.
