Michael Brosnan Obituary
"Mike" was born on August 14, 1947, to Edward and Ann Marie Brosnan in Ossining, NY.
He was a graduate of Nether Providence High School in Wallingford, PA. He earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business from Salem University.
Mike met the love of his life, Candace Cozine, at a wedding in 1969 and they were married a year later. Candace preceded him in death on March 17, 2020. This year would have been their 53rd wedding anniversary.
Mike owned a metal finishing plant in Folcroft, PA. After selling the business, he worked at the financial aid office at the University of Pennsylvania where he went on to become the director. Upon retirement, the two moved to Treasure Lake to be closer to their daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. He was an avid fly fisherman and hunter which brought him to many remote places around the globe. He also loved spending time with his dog Gertie and his family, especially his three grandchildren: Jack, Sean and Maggie. He was a phenomenal storyteller with a creative and generous spirit.
Michael is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Kelly and Craig Stringer of DuBois, PA, his brother George Brosnan of Myrtle Beach, SC, his brother Shawn Brosnan of Myrtle Beach,SC, his brother Patrick Brosnan of Media, PA, his brother Timothy Brosnan of Raleigh, NC, his sister Lori (Brosnan) Denninger of Fairport, NY and his three grandchildren: Jack, Sean and Maggie Stringer, along with many loving extended family members, nieces, nephews, brother and sisters-in-law.
He was preceded in death by his son, Michael S. Brosnan Jr. in 2008.
There will be no public visitation and services will be held at the convenience of the family.

Mike with a Siberian Lenok.

My condolences to the Brosnan family. Yesterday I decided to locate Mike only to discover that he had passed away. I haven't seen Mike since the time we fished together in Siberia in 1990. We were one of the first American fishermen to explore the rivers of Siberia.
