AGE: 77 • formerly of Delran

Michael G. Vermes Sr., 77, passed away from cancer on Saturday, Sept. 3, 2011 in Budapest, Hungary. Mike fled to America in 1956 with his wife, Magdalena, to make a better life for himself and his family. He was a machinist by trade and some years later started his own business; Vermes Machine Co. He and his family moved to the Delran area in the early 60's. Mike had an incredible work ethic and old school mentality. His passion for soccer helped to foster many individual players and the growth of the game regionally. He was charming, loved to joke and called it the way he saw it.

Mike is survived by his children: Ervin Vermes of Delran, NJ; Susan Kress of Virginia Beach, VA; Michael Vermes Jr. of Cinnaminson, NJ; Peter Vermes of Overland Park, KS; ten grandchildren and one great grandchild.
