Predeceased by his sisters and brothers in law, Anita (Arturo) Vendittelli, Romilda (Lucio) DeLisio and Irene (Giovanni) D’Amore. He will be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews and extended family members. Mike enjoyed watching the loves of his life, his grandchildren and great granddaughter grow up. He enjoyed watching and following all their activities. Mike was a well-known barber for over 65 years in which 50 of those years were spent on Linwell and Vine known as Mike’s Barber Shop.
