Michael Giacomantonio Obituary
Born in Jersey City, Michael, graduated from Manhattan College and attended Fairleigh Dickinson for his MBA while serving in the Naval Reserve.
Michael was a retired salesman. With a twinkle in his eye, he could sell snow to an Eskimo and ants at a picnic. He had the voice of an angel and was an active member of the choir at the Good Shepherd R.C. Church in Andover as well as serving as an usher there for many years. Michael was a third-degree member of the Knights of Columbus. He was loved and respected by all who knew him because he was a joy to be around.
Michael was known for making people laugh, he was never without a witty anecdote or a kind word. He had a gift with children and animals. Both were drawn to him because of his kind nature. Some of his favorite hobbies were gardening, whittling and training his beloved dogs.
Mike, Mikey, Uncle Mike, Miguel, Michael played different roles to different people and he was magnanimous to all. He touched so many lives and will be missed dearly by all who knew him. Michael is survived by his loving and adorable wife, Geraldine Giacomantonio; son, Paul Giacomantonio; daughters, Laura Giacomantonio and Karen Giacomantonio-Corrigan. Additionally, four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

I was lucky to meet Michael while simgimg with him at Good Shepherd, and enjoyed his sense of humor and big heart. He definitely was a hail-well-met kind of guy. He also had a deep reverence for his faith and always gave the baby Jesus' head a pat as we walked by on the way to communion. My condolences to his wife and family. We lost a good man.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
