Michael lived a life defined by kindness and warmth, joy and strength. He was known for his big heart and even bigger smile, qualities that touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He lit up any room he entered with his contagious laughter, which was heard often and shared with many.

He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He was the beloved husband of Philomena. Loving father of Brendan (Maureen), Noreen, Michael (Linda), Linda and Susan. Cherished grandfather of Kevin, Christopher (Rebecca), Makayla, Noreen, Molly and Jaclyn and great-grandfather to Nathaniel. Adored brother of Beatrice, Peggy, Padraig, Peter, predeceased by Mary, John, Martin and Sarah. Beloved uncle of many nieces and nephews.

Family will receive friends & loved ones Wednesday, 4-8 pm at the Fred H McGrath & Son Funeral Home, 20 Cedar St. Bronxville, NY. The Funeral Mass will be held Thursday, 9:45 am, at Saint Joseph's Church Bronxville, NY. Interment to follow at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Hawthorne, NY.
