Michael Fugatt met his beloved wife, Catherine Fugatt, while in high school in Tucson, Arizona. They were married in 1966 and shared 50 incredible years of marriage.

His sons and grandchildren will cherish and hold in their hearts the passion and support they received from their father and grandfather.

Michael enjoyed everything involving loved ones. He enjoyed and proudly watched his children and grandchildren compete in sports.

Michael and Catherine were members of the Woodstock Country Club, where they both enjoyed the time they spent with family and members. Michael enjoyed fine wine and beer. He had an appetite for a variety of different foods.

Michael absolutely loved his job with Rock Tred. There wasn?t a day that went by without mentioning how much he loved his job. The same passion and values he had for family most definitely carried over to his job where his work ethic was like no other. He loved the relationships with his co-workers and all the wonderful relationships with his contractors.

Michael will be missed, but never forgotten for the impact he had on family and friends.
