    He was quite a person I’ve known him since he was a small child. He grew up with my kids. He will be sadly missed by the Guggino family.

    I am so very sad to hear this.
    I worked with Mike when he was a court deputy. Mike Lipani was by far in the top 5 of the many court deputies I’ve worked with. He was not only a colleague but a great friend. We had many great chats about many things. He was always kind and respectful.

    I am heartbroken to hear of this news and will pray for him and his family and friends.🙏🙏🙏

    Sue & family,
    I’m so very sorry for your loss. I’m positive Anna was holding the door open for him.

    Sue and family, I just want you to know how deeply grateful I am for your Mike. He was such a steady and good force in my dad’s life—and in my mom’s, my aunt’s, my grandparents’, and all of ours—no matter where life took us.

    He always showed up with kindness and strength, and it meant more than I ever said. He was truly a blessing to our family, bringing laughs, good food, fun, and some wonderfully wild times. He was a real and lasting part of my life and my brother’s, and I will always hold that close.

    I’m holding you in my heart with deep gratitude and love. Thank you for everything, Mike!
