Michael Colletti Obituary

Michael Colletti

Vero Beach, FL

Michael Colletti, of Vero Beach, Florida, passed away on April 6, 2018 at the age of 88.



After graduating from high school in Fort Lee, New Jersey, Mike was recruited by the Brooklyn Dodgers, training with their farm team in Vero Beach before returning to New Jersey to marry his high school sweetheart and raise a family. Mike retired in 1979 as General Manager of the Ford Motor Company's International Division after a 30-year career that started in the company mailroom. He is survived by his beloved wife of 68 years, Dolores, his son Michael, his daughter Dawn, four grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and sister Joan.



Always quick with a joke and a smile, Mike would want to be remembered for his wit and loving devotion as husband, father, and "Poppi".

He surely will be missed by all that knew him. I personally enjoyed his company whether traveling or playing sports with him.
