Michael Plitt Obituary

On March 14, 2024, Michael Bruce Plitt, Sr. (Mike); devoted husband of the late Nina Plitt (nee Murray), beloved father of Heather N. Plitt and her husband Erik Bailey, and Michael B. Plitt, Jr. and his wife Stephanie Plitt. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Murray Plitt-Bailey, Anna Plitt, and Joey Plitt, brother, Emory A. Plitt, Jr and his wife Judy Plitt, and sister-in-law, Marlene Murray. In addition to his wife Nina, he was preceded in death by his parents, Emory and Catherine Plitt, his twin brother and best friend Dennis Plitt, and a sister-in-law, Joan Murray. He will also be dearly missed by many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. Mike was born on March 30, 1950 in Baltimore, Maryland, and lived in the Baltimore County area for almost his entire life. He attended Ascension School, Cardinal Gibbons High School, and Loyola College (now Loyola University). He spent nearly all of his career in the Baltimore City Public School System, first as a teacher, then as vice principal and principal at Carver Vocational-Technical High School. He returned to teach at his alma mater Cardinal Gibbons for the last few years of his career before retiring in 2010. His love for his family was matched only by the love he had for his career as an educator, impacting the lives of countless students and co-workers. Mike's family would like to thank the staff at Ascension Saint Agnes Hospital and Saint Elizabeth Rehabilitation and Nursing Center for the care they provided to Mike in the last few months, and Mike's neighbors, Bill and Bobbi Jo Tayman for always looking out for Mike. Visitations will take place at Ambrose Funeral Home (1328 Sulphur Spring Road, Arbutus, Maryland 21227) on Saturday, March 23 from 3-5 PM and 7-9 PM. A memorial service will be held at the beginning of the 7-9 PM visitation.

I´m sending love hugs and deepest condolences to friends and family members to Mr. Plitt at this trying time. Mr. Plitt you were an outstanding principal at carver. The memories of you coming in the tea room to have lunch with so many other teachers. You loved carver vo tech and we also loved you as well. The class of 2003 thank you for being there for us. You always recognized me because I was dedicated to wearing pink everyday for the 4 years I was there. I enjoyed the conversation we had at our class 10 year reunion in 2013 and the homecoming 2014 you showed up and greeted all your former students including myself.

I will say life is so short you were my principle at Carver c/o 2004. You change my life and cared for people well-being and education for so many years. You fought for me to graduate when I was struggling to make it everyday, and you provided funded so many opportunities for young people to succeed at that high school such a great person. It will never be another like you and it really hurts me that I never followed up to just say thank you

Mr. Plitt was a teacher at Carver when I attended in 1979-1982. He was always caring and treated us like humans, not talking down to us. It stunned and saddened me to see this, but I´m glad it allowed me to leave a memory. Enjoy your well deserved rest, you went above and beyond for us. I THANK YOU!! Sending prayers and condolences to the family.

Mr. Plitt was the coolest, most caring Principal I have ever known. It was obvious that he wasn't in it for the paycheck. He really cares about his students. I was one of his students at Carver Vo-Tech from September of 1986 through June of 1990. He was an awesome educator and administrator. He cared about everyone and everything in that school. It saddened me today when I heard of Mr. Plitt's transitioning. They don't make'em like him anymore. These kids today could really use a Michael B. Plitt. Heaven has truly gained an angel. He will be truly missed.

Mr. Little was the principle at Carver Vocational Technical High School when I attended. He helped me when I need help the most. I was a student who had many struggles and school and Mr. Plitt knew who I was. I think he wanted me to successful at this thing called life more than I did. In my years of being grown I owe thanks to Mr. Plitt for not giving up on me and other student in the class of 02. I thank God that he was able to have the proper care and people around him to love on him in his last days. Rest easy Mr. Plitt it is well deserved

Mike and Dennis are embedded in my mind since our days at Gibbons. They were inseparable. They´re equally missed. Godspeed to the family.
