Michael Gregory Grogan, 89, of Brookhaven, PA, passed away peacefully on September 16, 2025, at Sunrise of Westtown in Chester County, PA. Michael was raised in Moosic (outside Scranton) and graduated from South Catholic High School, Scranton, PA in 1954, where he played football and was senior class vice president. He loved spending time surrounded by family and was so proud of his grandchildren. Michael was predeceased by his wife, Carol in 2021; his parents Patrick and Mary Grogan; and his brother Robert Grogan (Mary).

For many years, Mike, proudly managed Brookhaven Bowling Alley, a place that became more than just a job to him. Under his care, the bowling alley wasn't simply a business – it was a gathering place where laughter echoed, friendships blossomed, and memories were made.

Michael is survived by his loving children Michael S. Grogan (Joanne), Glenn Grogan (Sandra), Kelly Dreyer (Thomas), and MaryKate Trader; his grandchildren Zachary, Joshua, Jacob, Taylor, Jordan, Marley, Maya, Melanie, Sean, Bryce, Samantha, and Liron; his great grandchildren Lila Faye, Ava Sophia, Chase, Ava Marie, and Vanessa Grace; his sister Dorothy Donnelly (Daniel), his brother Patrick Grogan (Paula), and his sisters-in-law, Mary Grogan and Joyce Chester; as well as many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

Per Michael's wishes, no gathering will occur, and burial will be private.
