Michael Modica Obituary

Michael Stephen Modica was born on April 3, 1953. Mike died Monday, March 14 after a tough fight with cancer. Against the odds, he remained independent to the very end of his illness. Much to the disappointment of several very nice ladies, Mike chose to never marry. He is survived by his brother John, sister Maria, half-brother Robert Neitzel and nephews Dave, Aaron, Joseph, and John. Services have been held. For information please call 773-588-5850 or visit www.cooneyfuneralhome.com
