Michael J. Budinetz, 71 of Treichlers, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, December 29, 2021 in St. Luke's Sacred Heart Hospital, Allentown. Born on September 9, 1950 in Northampton, he was a son of the late Jules and Anna (Boshko) Budinetz. Michael and his wife, Debra (Newhard) celebrated 43 years of marriage together. He was employed in computer sales most of his life but most recently prior to retirement, he was a table games dealer at the Sands Casino, and limo driver for A&A limo. He honorably served our country in the US Navy during Vietnam. He was a member of St. Paul's UCC Indianland and proudly served on the consistory. He loved TM meditation, nature, golfing, cooking, horseshoes, a well made Manhattan, and most importantly his friends and family. Michael B, Budie, or The "Captain" could light up a room in an instant and made everyone he met feel special. That was his word. "SPECIAL." He was always doing things for others. Mike made the most out of life and emanated positivity every time you were around him. A few favorite phrases of his were, "Live in present moment awareness" and "I am That, Thou art That, All this is That." which is a saying he learned from Maharishi. Survivors: In addition to his wife, Michael is survived by son, Wade; daughter, Tara and husband Terrence Field; grandchildren, Lilly, Brennan, James, Jules and a sister, Barbara Budinetz. Services: Funeral services will be held on Friday, January 14th at 11:00 am. in the church, 787 Almond Rd., Walnutport. Family and friends may call on Thursday evening, January 13th from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. in the Reichel Funeral Home, 326 E. 21st St., Northampton and on Friday morning from 10:00 a.m. until time of service in the church. Interment will be private. Online condolences may be offered at www.reichelfuneralhome.com. Memorials: In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the church or Maharishi International University (MIU), 1000 N. 4 th St., Fairfield IA 52557 or online at giving.miu.edu in loving memory of Michael.
