Obituary
With great sadness, we share the passing of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather Michael Thomas Ganci on March 21, 2020 due to complications from Covid-19… Throughout his life, he had over 10,000 students as a public school teacher and as a 4th degree black belt Sensei in Kyokushin karate at New Hartford Karate Club. He was a creative and hard-working person who instilled in his children a generous spirit, a pride in their Sicilian roots, and a deep love for family. He lived to make those around him laugh, to find treasures at estate sales or flea markets, and to tinker in his workshop or on his computer. To the end, he was on a quest for an authentic egg cream just like the ones he drank growing up.
Published in The Hartford Courant
“I remember him as my 5th grade teacher at the Ann Antolini school. He was my hero at that time in my life! Because of him I looked forward to school every day.”
