I'm sorry about your families loss. I was thinking about Mike, and looked him up so as to contact him and thank him for touching my life. Unfortunately, as is the case so often, I am a bit late.
Coach Stayer made a profound impact in my life. He was my football coach and swimming coach in 1982-84, before my family moved away from Allegany. Coach took me under his wing and helped develop me as a quarterback and overall athlete. He was a kind and patient man. Above this, we had a spiritual connection. Coach would often take me to daily Mass at St. Bonaventure. He worked with me on praying the Rosary, taught me about Fatima and helped me join the Blue Army. This continues to be a strong part of my life and I have the Lord, Mary our Mother and Michael Stayer to thank.
Thank you Coach Mike. I will never forget you.

We are saddened to hear of Mike’s passing. We remember the good times we had together. I remember playing back yard basketball with him when I was a senior in high school. He was destined to glory. Please accept our condolences.

Dear Betsy and family,
I'm so, so, sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of Mike and just how special he was in touching the lives of so many through basketball and in life. There are quite a few players out there who are better shooters because of Mike. My sister Kim walked at the YMCA and said that while she was walking, Mike was shooting and never missed. He never missed a shot and never missed an opportunity to help a player become better. But aside from basketball, Mike was an outstanding man with a personality that touched your heart. He would do anything for anyone and will truly be missed.
My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you at this sad time!
Sincerely,
Jeff Anastasia

So sorry to hear about Mike's death. Great guy and great athlete. We first met on the football field and in pick up basketball games at BCCHS nearly 60 years ago. He married a BCCHS classmate, Betsy Curcio. My heartfelt thoughts to Betsy and her family. Joe Young

Betsy and Girls,
I was deeply saddened to see of the passing of Mike. With the virus, grieving becomes more difficult since you can't gather with friends and family and feel their love and support. Blessings to you and your family. May your memories of him give you peace in the coming days.

My heartfelt condolences to the entire Stayer family. Mike was a huge inspiration to me. He was my swim coach at Allegany from 1976 - 1980. He taught me how to be a team player and at the same time focus on the sport as an individual with goals in mind. Mike taught the people he coached to always be positive, remain highly motivated and push yourself to your potential. I am so very grateful that Coach Mike was a part of my life; he helped me develop the skills for entering into college and ultimately develop a professional life into the healthcare field. I am who I am because of Coach Mike. We all should be so lucky to have a role model like Mike Stayer.

Our sympathy is with you Betsy and your family. Mike was such a great person. He gave of himself in everything he did. He was taken from this world at a much too young age. Only God knows what his plans are. We wish you love and strength at this difficult time. Sheila & Jess Gugino
