Michael was a great guy-one of a kind and was loved by so many. He may have left this world early, but he lived a full life. Always going. He had so many interests, fishing, hunting- his favorite was cooking and he was good at all. A loyal member of the Wittenberg Sportsman's Club.
Surviving is his wife Marialice "Mimi" Pagnotta, and their son Christopher Pagnotta, a brother Louis Pagnotta (Steven Izzard), a sister Bernadette Obertello and her husband Daniel. Many nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews also survive.
