Michael Bevilacqua

BEVILACQUA, MICHAEL PETER passed away February 3 2016 after a long illness. He was never one for sitting on the sidelines. His adoration for his family knew no bounds, nor did his generosity. A son, brother, father, husband, uncle, grandfather, and even great-grandfather, but those who mourn will also Celebrate his life, and all the joy he endlessly brought to all of us. To his brothers and sisters; Margaret Maceda and her husband Joseph, Elaina Tavarozzi and her husband Robert, Geraldine Brown and her husband Charles, Peter Bevilacqua and his wife Carol, David Bevilacqua and his wife Linda, and Rickey Bevilacqua and his wife Jill, he was a fiercely loyal, protective, and devoted brother. To his wife, Cynthia Bevilacqua, he was her love, and her best friend. To his children, Donna Gayer, Peter Bevilacqua, Laurie Bliven, Louis Gardner, and Joseph Knutson, he was a loving father, a mentor, a sentinel, a listening ear, and so much more. To his 8 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren, he was Papa Mike; their treasured grandfather and mischievous pal. Michael was predeceased by his parents, Peter Bevilacqua and Angela (Longobardi) Bevilacqua. An open service will be held on Friday, February 12, 2016, at St. Kevin's Catholic Church, 333 Sandy Lane, Warwick, RI. Mass will begin at 11 a.m.
