Michael R. Del Grande, 70, passed away on Thursday, April 15, 2010, in Free Union, Virginia.

During retirement, Mike took advantage of his free time by relaxing in the sun, listening to Frank Sinatra, and bird watching. Most of all, Mike enjoyed every opportunity he had to spend with his family, particularly his grandchildren.

A memorial service was held at the Teague Funeral Home in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday, April 24, 2010.
