I have known Mike for about 50 years. Never had a bad thing to say about anything. Always smiling and laughing. Back in the day we went on many of camping trips together with all of our friends. Those are the days that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Terri my wife just met him recently and she said that he was the nicest and sweetest guy she ever met. RIP Mike, until we meet again.

Mike Villa was one of the nicest persons I have ever met in the Chicago Marine industry. We worked together for a number of years. Mike always had a smile, and a kind word to say. He was not afraid of a hard day’s work.
I have thought of Mike often over the years; and will remember his positive influence in bringing along young mariners for many years to come.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of my former co-worker, Mike Villa. had the privilege of working alongside Mike at Chicago From the Lake/Chicago Line Cruisers, where he was not only a dedicated teammate but also someone who brought kindness and a steady spirit to those around him.
Mike's presence made a lasting impact, and will always remember the camaraderie we shared on the job. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and all who had the honor of knowing him. May his memory bring comfort and peace during this difficult time.

Always will remember him ringing the bell at CYC bar (it means you’re buying everyone there a drink!) and running out ahead of us laughing all the way.
