It's special when neighbors become friends. Mike handled his illness with courage and laughter. We will keep him in our prayers. We believe he is taking a stroll with Max.

Mike always had a smile on his face and was most generous in his praise. We were fortunate to have spent time together at company functions and to have worked under his leadership here at ARI. Our thoughts and prayers are sent to all the family.

At a time of loss, words are the hardest to express. Mike had a heart that ran deep and a love for people that was lasting. His presence will be missed but his spirit lives on in the ones that loved him. Client, Employee, Friend....Mike treated all people like he had known them his entire life. His presence will be forever felt on the deep, blue sea. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Laporta family. Dinah Paris and Stu Rossen

My deepest sympathy to the Laporta family. Mr. Laporta will be sadly missed and has been since he retired. Here in the Canada office we always enjoyed when he visited for he made you feel like you were his friend and not his employee. 'Call me Mike'. I'll always remember that about him. That was his good nature and kindness shining through. God bless him and the family. Sincerely yours, Wendy ARI Canada

Sincere Sympathy to the Laporta family. I also can quote Mike's infamous words "I have a open door policy - feel free to stop by and say hello". He was truly one of a kind. Joyce

Because we raised a glass or two, "The Parting Glass" appropriately comes to mind. "If it falls unto my lot that I should rise while you should not, I will gently stand and softly call: 'Goodnight and joy be with you all!'"

My thoughts are with you while I remember the very unique person Mike was. In our pre-email days, he would walk the depts, answering phones the reps couldn't get to, helping our clients and inspiring our Team.
