I don't know how I can ever express the deep sorrow I feel for you during this most difficult time. I know the pain and sadness so many of us are feeling over Uncle Mike's loss does not compare to the feelings you are experiencing. Please know that you have so many people praying for you, who want to help you through this in any way we can, just as you and Uncle Mike have always been there for us during our times of need.

Anybody who knew Uncle Mike had the good fortune of experiencing his kindness, his caring, his love, and his spirit for life, and our lives will forever be better because of it.

Rest in peace Uncle Mike.

With great affection and love,

Johnny

Mike was a great guy, I enjoyed doing business with him and talking sports afterwards, Will

miss him. Cliff

Pinochle games, darts, quarters, Mexican, and Baseball. No Matter what, we played as hard as we could to win. And we laughed often and loud, mostly because of Mike. Mike made everyone around him better. Playing on a Baseball team together is a special bond that lasts a lifetime, no matter how often you see each other. You live together, win together, lose together, laugh together, cry together, fight together and love each other. Rest in Peace, Mike, Teammates forever.......

I did not know Mike.. But, as an Allstate Agent myself, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family and friends. I know he will be missed. Such a tragedy. Donna R

I am so sorry for your loss. I understand the pressure and have spent plenty of hours trying to figure out why Allstate doesn't see the value of it's agents and their dedication and the care they give to customers and the sacrifice they make for their families. My prayers are with you and your family. I am so very sorry for your loss. An Illinois agent.

My deepest sympathy to the Raimo and Gantz families. I use to cut Mike hair and also Michelle when they were young and not married yet. I admired them both and knew they would be together for ever. May Mike rest with the angels and be a peace. Hope the family remembers me and again my heartfelt sympathy goes to both families especially Michelle and the children. My prayer for them is that the Lord give the strength to get though this sadness.

With deep affection and found memories,

Pete Pepe

My wife and I extend our prayers and sympathies for your loss. The entire Allstate Agent family is grieving with you but trust that Michael is certainly in the "good hands" of our Father in heaven.

The Measure of a Man

Anonymous

Not - How did he die? But - How did he live?

Not - What did he gain? But - What did he give?

These are the things that measure the worth

Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.

Not - What was his station? But - had he a heart?

And - How did he play his God-given part?

Was he ever ready with a word of good cheer?

To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?

Not - What was his church? Not - What was his creed?

But - Had he befriended those really in need?

Not - What did the sketch in the newspaper say?

But - How many were sorry when he passed away?

These are the things that measure the worth

Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.

As another sister in the Allstate Family, our hearts ache for all of you. Our sense of loss can certainly never compare to the anguish of those close to the Raimo Family but we send to you our sincerest sympathies. I'll be praying for comfort and strength for the entire Raimo Family.

Dearest family of Michael, there is a hole in my heart and a hole in our company because of your loss, that only the Lord Jesus Christ can heal. I have been going to daily Mass and I beleive that our faith is the only way we will survive these trying times. The evil that we see in our country and our company is meant for our destruction but our God Almighty will turn our sorrow into blessings if we trust in him.

Rest in Peace from your fellow Allstate agents in california.

Although I didn't know Michael Raimo, I send my thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

Mike was our Allstate agent for over 20yrs. until we moved to Florida. We were so sad to learn of his passing. There was never a question too silly or a problem too big for Mike. He was always kind, caring and helpful. Even when we were getting ready to move, I said I wish he could still be our agent.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family. May God bless you during this difficult time.

Your family is in our prayers. As fellow Allstate agents in Michigan, We know the stress he suffered and pray for God to hold your family close to Him in this time of great loss. God Bless
