Mike, man brother I am so sorry that we lost touch over the years and I was deeply saddened to find out that you had left us. Shannon, I am sorry to hear about Mike, we go way back to the Grotto/54th St days. This world lost a great man! I literally just found out, I'm not sure how or why. But my sympathy to you and your family. God bless. Ryan Nastaj

I met you when we were this young. We played ball almost everyday growing up. Joining the A team in junior high knowing we were going to be friends that lasted a lifetime. As we grew older we ran the streets, caused lots of ruckus and chased after all the ladies 😉😅. We definitely knew how to have a good time and make something out of nothing. You introduced me to my first sons mom and without you i would never have one of the two greatest gifts life gave me. We are cut from the same cloth and for that we called each other brothers. We didnt have to share the same blood. It was just known that there was a bond that could never be broken. You are truly going to missed my friend my brother from another mother. Ill bump some 2pac for you and always be true to the blue and maze! Save a spot for me up there for this isnt goodbye its ill see you again. R.I.P. Mike Krupp aka (Kruppcakes)
