Michael Torpey Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
He was an accomplished Sales Manager for over 40 years at several boutiques and shops in New York and New Jersey. He was known for his commitment and hard work – earning several top Sales awards during his tenure in the industry.
Michaels' love of family, his kind heart and sense of humor will be greatly missed.
Michael is survived by his dear siblings: Mary (Rich) Robinson, Patrick (Cynthia) Torpey, Sean (Trish) Torpey, Kevin Torpey, and Timothy (Karen) Torpey; and his cherished nieces and nephews: Patrick, Meghan, Matthew, Colleen, Heather, Kyle, Delia and Keira as well as many relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his parents.
Michael had a special loving connection with all of his nieces and nephews. It is therefore suggested that those who would like to make a donation in Michael's memory, kindly do so at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (www.stjude.org).

I am deeply sorry to hear of the loss of my dear friend Michael. I worked with Michael for 15 years at Williams-Sonoma, Short Hills. We had so many interesting conversations about his late Mom and her great cooking and sharing her recipes to me. I will always remember his hearty laughs!! He will be deeply missed and never forgotten. May he rest in peace. Love you Michael. Linda O'C
