Michael Botti Obituary
Michael Botti, 49, of Chester, passed away suddenly on January 17, 2018. Michael is survived by his mother, Barbara Botti, sister, Carole and her husband Michael Sibiskie, nieces Caryn and Caitlyn Sibiskie, and many cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. He was predeceased by his father, Robert Botti. Michael was born and raised in Portland attending Portland Public Schools and Vinal Technical School. Michael started working at the family business, Portland Electric, while early in his teen years, eventually becoming a Vice President. When Michael was in High School, the family moved to his beloved home on the Connecticut River in Chester. Michael had a love of the outdoors, enjoying any time he could find to go boating, skiing in Vermont, and care for his parents home and property on the river. One of his favorite places to visit was Block Island, RI where he enjoyed special times with groups of friends. He always had a passion and talent for baseball and softball, playing on numerous teams in his younger years. He was an avid sport fan and enjoyed watching almost any sport.
A Celebration of Life will be held to honor Michael's memory at the convenience of the family.
