He was predeceased by his brothers-in-law, Stan Wojkowski and Donald Poggio, his mother-in-law, Beverly Walton, his father-in-law, Philip Walton, his niece, Krystyne Poggio and his nephew, Scot Poggio.
Interment in the In Memoriam Cemetery is private. A Celebration of Life service will be held at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of the Wallingford Funeral Home, 809 North Main Street Ext. The family requests that, in honor of Mike, you do a kind deed for an animal.
