About
Michael Ratliff Obituary
After a brief time being a local DJ and managing Peaches Music he went on to build a career in various accounting and auditing positions. He travelled extensively as an auditor and lived in Chicago and New York. In retirement he was a pharmacy tech for CVS.
Music and books were a big part of Michael's life. He haunted all local bookstores and coffee shops wherever he went. He had a soft spot for his family, and all his pets.
Michael was preceded in death by his parents, Carolyn and Joseph Ratliff. Survivors include his loving girlfriend and domestic partner of 16 years, Susan Dellacca. Brothers, Mark Corbett, Joey Ratliff, Sisters, Carolyn Fernandez, Ann Lebowitz and Mary Cyr and multiple nieces and nephews.
His dry wit and sense of humor will be missed by all but we will keep him in our hearts and memories forever.
Contributions to the Parkinson's Foundation would be appreciated.
