~ Family Tribute ~
In loving memory of Michael J. Curylo; known by family and friends as "The Man, The Myth, The Legend" and "Mr. Fix It" guy. He would go out of his way to help anyone he could - anywhere and anytime - if he was able. A true handyman full of knowledge and wisdom, who loved sharing his many stories. He loved going to restaurants, working in the yard, fixing things; but above all, he loved his family deeply. He was a devoted husband to his late wife, Margaret (his honey) and a devoted father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend to many.
He is now our angel in heaven, reunited with "his honey" where they will both be our guardian angels looking down and watching over us all on earth.
