Michael FERRICK Obituary
Passed away on Sunday, November 27, 2022 at his home in Sarasota, Florida. Born in Buffalo, NY on October 5, 1938, Mike was the youngest of eight siblings, a devoted fan of the University of Notre Dame, a proud Naval veteran, and a dentist who enjoyed each of the fifty years he worked to improve the smiles of so many in his community. Mike was also a long-time resident of Buffalo, and an avid fan of its history, its sports teams, and its outdoor recreational opportunities, including hunting, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, cycling and golfing. Mike is survived by his beloved wife Carole (Low), their loving son Michael R. Ferrick, MD, their three devoted daughters, Tracy (William) Cowden, Molly (Daniel) Gulden, and Kimberly (Scott) Stoeckel, and eleven grandchildren who will forever remember their grandfather's ability to listen, to challenge, to offer rock-solid, practical guidance, to make them laugh, to barbecue in a blizzard, and to repair almost anything. The family will host a celebration of life on Friday, December 2nd from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at Stoneybrook Golf and Country Club in Sarasota, FL and plans to host a celebration of life in Buffalo, NY in the spring of 2023.

Dear Carole and family,
Thinking of you all with such sadness during this heartbreaking time. Our paths hadn´tvcrossed in many years- but know that he was the same fellow I knew at 16: a soul of unimpeachable integrity, of all encompassing intelligence, but one who loved a good time and whose unassuming warmth could enliven any room. I´m thinking of you all. Much love, Iris Skoog

To Ferrick family. What a shock. To my long time dentist and friend. Had a dry tooth socket and he picked me up, went to his office, and fixed the pain and socket. My late wife, Marilyn, and I enjoyed our times in a gourmet dinner group with the Ferrick´s. A life well lived, but never long enough. RIP Mike

Dear Carole, My sister, Gretchen told me Mike died and I looked at his obituary. I did not know Mike well, but Russ' Mom loved him as he did dental work for her. He sounds like a fun fun Grandpa. Russ knew him from Amherst HS. I send you my sympathy and love...Leslie
