In Loving Memory of Michael Mastronunzio
October 23, 1931 - July 25, 2023

Michael Mastronunzio, a loving and cherished patriarch, passed away peacefully at the age of 91, surrounded by his family and embraced by the spirit of the Lord on July 25th. Michael was born on October 23, 1931, and his life was a testament to love, laughter, and unwavering generosity.

Michael's heart knew true love when he met the love of his life, Catherine. Although she passed away before him, their love story remained an enduring example of devotion and commitment. Together, they nurtured a beautiful family and left behind a legacy of love that will forever be treasured.

One of Michael's greatest joys in life was being a devoted grandfather and great grandfather. His love and support knew no bounds, and he was always there for his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, celebrating their accomplishments and encouraging them.

Every year, the holiday season became even more special thanks to Michael's famous Christmas cookies. He took delight in baking them and sharing them with loved ones, creating cherished memories and spreading joy with every bite.

Michael's sense of humor, warmth, and love made him a beacon of light in the lives of those who knew him. His generous spirit knew no limits. Michael was known for his quiet and contemplative nature, which added a sense of serenity to every gathering he attended.

Among his hobbies, Michael enjoyed playing and watching golf, watching game shows, and nurturing his deep faith. His relationship with the Lord was a cornerstone of his life, guiding him through every joy and challenge, and offering him comfort and solace.

Michael leaves behind a loving family that will forever cherish the memories they shared. He is survived by his daughters Michele Glennon and her husband Michael Glennon, as well as Renee Stisi and her husband Michael Stisi.

Additionally, he is survived by nine grandchildren and their spouses, who were all blessed to call him grandpa, and sixteen great-grandchildren who brought immense joy to his life.

Today, as we bid farewell to Michael, we remember him as a man who lived life to the fullest, embraced his loved ones with open arms, and touched the hearts of everyone he encountered. His kindness, love, and laughter will continue to echo through the lives of all who were fortunate enough to know him.

May he rest in eternal peace, reunited with his beloved Cathy, and may his memory be a blessing to us all.
